A McKellar local is being honoured by the province for his exceptional volunteer work.
Lloyd George is one of 14 people who were awarded the 2023 June Callwood Outstanding Achievement Award for Voluntarism.
The award is in memory of late author and journalist, June Callwood, and recognizes the leadership, innovation and contributions of individual volunteers, volunteer administrators and volunteer organizations who have stepped up to help others, support communities and build a stronger Ontario.
George serves as commissioner for the 3rd Parry Sounds Scouts.
In a post to social media, the scouts shared they are thankful for George’s leadership, knowledge and dedication to the youth of our province.
“You are a Scout, through and through, and certainly leave all those you have encountered better than you when you found them. Congratulations,” the post read.
The June Callwood Outstanding Achievement Award for Voluntarism is presented each year to up to 20 individuals and/or organizations in recognition of their longstanding volunteer service to their community.
