Back to SearchPrince Albert, Sk. – The City of Prince Albert has opened the call for nominations for the 2020 Terry Fox Award. Since 1981 the City has honoured a young citizen who is a role model, exhibits perseverance and dedication, and who is emblematic of the ideals and traits of the late Terry Fox. This award serves to perpetuate the memory of Terry’s heroic achievement, while acknowledging a local recipient with similar ideals.
The award is for city residents under the age of 21, recognizing good citizenship including exceptional service to school, social, athletic, civic or church institutions. Consideration will be given to those who have shown perseverance and determination, whether of a public or personal nature.
The 37th recipient was Elayna Greenwood who received her award at a City Council meeting in October, 2019. Elayna was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia when she was 6 years old in 2012. She fought the disease, which is currently in remission, and now is very active in Prince Albert in dance, sports and her school.
The 2020 award will be presented early in 2021, as the call for nominations was delayed due to COVID-19 disruptions.
Nomination forms are available at the Community Services Department Office 3rd Floor at City Hall on the city’s website.
Deadline for applying is Friday, December 19th, 2020 at 5:00 p.m.
