To celebrate the country's birthday a Youth Award will be handed out this year to honor young people making a difference.

 

Preparations for the Provincial Canada Day Celebrations have already begun here in Moose Jaw. Nominations are being accepted for the Canada Day Youth Award.

The award is presented to someone under the age of 18 that actively participates in the community and promotes Canadian values. Sharice Billet-Niedermayer is a member of the Celebrate Canada Day Committee.

''We know we have worthy youth in the Moose Jaw area but we're hoping to get some nominations in and hopefully one of our youth will be chosen for this award."

The nomination deadline is Saturday, Mary 31st. For more information you can call 693-5994.
