“The Civic Awards program provides an opportunity for the Municipality to publicly recognize the talents and efforts of our community members,” notes Bob Sanderson, Mayor of the Municipality of Port Hope. “In a community the size of Port Hope, volunteerism is what enables so many projects and initiatives to take flight. In 2020, there were countless examples of community activism and engagement, as we all navigated the pandemic together. I look forward to celebrating our community in a virtual ceremony this spring.”
