Last Friday, April 22nd, the Sutton Volunteer Recognition Evening<\/a> was held. After an absence of two years, the event was a chance to thank in person the volunteers who contribute so much to the well-being of our community. Nearly sixty people were present at the inn Le Montagnard where this festive and warm evening took place.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The certificates and prizes were presented by one of the representatives of the Town of Sutton: Mayor Robert Beno\u00eet, Councillor Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Leclerc, Councillor Marie-Jos\u00e9 Auclair, Councillor Carole Lebel, Councillor Marc-Andr\u00e9 Blain, Director General Pascal Smith and Deputy Director General Jonathan Fortin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A nice mark of recognition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Last March, the Town issued a call to recognized organizations to nominate one of their volunteers who has been particularly outstanding over the past two years. A total of 12 organizations nominated 13 volunteers (one organization nominated two). The evaluation committee chose the winners in the four award categories: culture, sports and recreation, community life, and youth under 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To these four categories, Mayor Robert Beno\u00eet wished to add, for the first time, a “Mayor’s Tribute” award which aims to recognize an individual for his or her overall volunteer achievements over a long period of time. The Mayor honoured two citizen who have done outstanding volunteer work for our community: Pauline Paul, who managed our thriving baseball activities for over 25 years, and Gilles Lavoie, who managed the Forum des citoyens de Sutton, a platform for citizen information on municipal decisions, for 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
