Recognising Our Locals
Do you know a local who gives their heart and soul to the Whyalla community? Would you like to see them recognised for their tireless efforts? If so, Whyalla City Council wants to hear from you!
Nominations for the 2022 Australia Day Citizen Of the Year Awards are now open.
The 2022 Citizen Of The Year Awards will feature 11 categories, with the citizen, young citizen, senior citizen, sports achievement, event of the year, and six community achievement awards to be presented.
Whyalla Mayor Clare McLaughlin said the awards recognised individuals and organisations that have made significant contributions to the community, not only throughout 2021, but also across a number of years.
“The Australia Day Citizen Of The Year Awards are special, because we get to publicly recognise and thank the people who give so much to our community,” Mayor McLaughlin said.
“These people, who so thoroughly deserve these awards, generally aren’t the sort of people that seek recognition, so it’s vitally important that others in the community take the time to put their names forward and nominate them.’
Nomination forms are available from: https://www.whyalla.sa.gov.au/our-city/australia-day-nominations, council’s civic building on Darling Terrace, and Whyalla Public Library.
Nominations close at 5pm on Friday, 17 December 2021.
