Carleton Place Citizen of the Year Award
This year’s Carleton Place Citizen of the Year award goes to husband and wife team Wayne Drummond and Lorna Walsh Drummond! This award is given as the highest honour in Carleton Place Ontario.
The pair, who is known for running the Carleton Place Christmas Basket Fund, were pleased to take the opportunity to share about the local charity. While Carleton Place has always been a generous community that ensures people who need help don’t go without, Wayne said he hopes the people won’t stop giving when they can, as the program does not receive funding from any other sources.
The Drummonds have been married for 45 years. “We were high school sweethearts,” said Lorna.
Volunteering is a large part of the award, however attitude and being an ambassador for the town are extremely important. Once a person is named citizen of the year, they automatically join the committee, helping to recognize future recipients for their hard work in the community.
