If you know someone who is deserving of public recognition, the MP for Coquitlam–Port Coquitlam wants to celebrate that special person, too.
Until Sunday, July 14, Liberal MP Ron McKinnon is calling for nominations for his annual Community Champions program.
McKinnon is looking for the names of unsung heroes living or working in the constituency who are building a better community: an outstanding parent volunteer, a group leader or someone who inspires others to step up, for example.
Last August, 10 constituents were honoured with Community Champion titles at McKinnon’s gathering at Lions Park in PoCo (in alphabetical order):
- Chris Baxter
- 4th PoCo Scouts
- Bob Comartin
- French-immersion teacher at Kilmer Elementary
- Tabasom Eblaghie
- refugee and counsellor
- Gail Flash
- community volunteer
- Joan Gould
- Wilson Seniors
- Karen Hein
- community volunteer
- Catherine Ho
- Burke Mountain Naturalists
- Brian Hubbard
- PoCo Heritage
- Preet Pall
- founding director of Global Change for Children
- Fatemeh Zakeri
- former chairperson of the Tri-City Iranian Cultural Society
