Flagstaff residents nominated for Minister’s Seniors Service Awards
The Minister’s Seniors Service Awards recognize Albertans who improve the lives of seniors through their volunteer service.
Ernestine Ferris, from Daysland, and Marjorie Lunty, from Forestburg, each received nominations from individuals or groups in their community.
Every person who received a nomination was invited to attend one of six community events across the province to receive recognition for their nominations from Lori Sigurdson, Minister of Seniors and Housing.
Ferris was nominated under the individual award category, by Betty Koehli, who in her entry, listed all the things she has known Ferris to be involved in within Daysland.
These included: 18 years on Council; work on the Hospital Foundation; the Hospital Auxiliary; the Handi Van Society; the Providence Place Board; her volunteer work at the Arena; her membership in the Catholic Women’s League; service on the Council on Aging; and her work at the Sunbeam Drop-In Centre.
She attended the Edmonton ceremony on Aug. 14, receiving her nomination from Sigurdson.
