City Of Peterborough Releases 2019 Civic Award Ceremony

The City of Peterborough has released the virtual presentation of the 2019 Civic Awards, now available on their website.

Nominations for the annual Civic awards were received in 2020 for achievements in 2019. As an alternative to an in-person event due to COVID-19 restrictions, Council approved a video celebrating the contributions of the winners.

“Congratulations to all of the citizens being recognized for their outstanding contributions to Peterborough in 2019. While we wish we could be together to celebrate the outstanding recipients of the 2019 Civic Awards, this video tribute is meant to show our appreciation for all that they have done to make Peterborough a special place,” said Mayor Diane Therrien.

There were 33 awards presented to individuals and groups who made significant contributions to the community. The winners have received a certificate signed by the Mayor and the City Clerk, and winners of the special trophies also have their names engraved on the trophy.

 Special trophy winners are as follows:

  • Volunteer of the Year - Rotary Clubs of Peterborough

  • Senior Athlete of the Year – Lynne Faught

  • Junior Athlete of the Year – Sophia Lu

  • Lifetime Achievement – Ian Attridge

The Holnbeck Award, recognizing outstanding contributions to improve the lives of people with disabilities, was awarded to Lynda Todd.
