Warrnambool City Councillor Debbie Arnott encouraged everyone to think about someone who they feel is worthy of wider public recognition, and to nominate them for an award.
“These awards are to recognise the doers in our community. The people, often with very little fanfare, who roll up their sleeves and make things happen,” she said.
“The people who do things that help to build the type of community we all want to live in.
“Most of us would know someone like this, and nominating them for an award is one of the best things you can do to show your appreciation.
“It only takes a few minutes, and in doing so, you are giving the wider community the chance to learn about how special this person is, and to collectively thank them for everything they have done.”
The awards will be presented in early 2024.
Nominations close on Wednesday November 22, 2023.
