The Heart of Gold Recognition Program is City Council’s latest commitment to acknowledging the individuals and community groups whose contributions make Timmins a great place to live, work, learn, and play.
Achievements will be recognized in four categories for Volunteer Community Service, Youth Community and Civic Engagement, Achievement in Sports, and Achievement in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics). Nominations open on Friday, December 1, 2023. Recognition will be made once a month during a regular meeting of City Council beginning in January 2024.
“Timmins is fortunate to have many dedicated volunteers and talented individuals who contribute positively to our community,” says Mayor Michelle Boileau. “Individual accomplishments are also important to celebrate together and help to foster pride in our city and its people. The Heart of Gold Recognition Program is a way for City Council, on behalf of the residents of Timmins, to recognize significant achievements, milestones, and the efforts that are being made to improve our community.”
Beginning December 1, residents wishing to make a nomination will be able to review the award criteria online and fill out the online nomination form. The form will also be available as a download that can be printed and submitted by email or in person to Service Timmins at City Hall.
