individuals in
the Town of
Newcastle for their outstanding
contributions
to society.
Eleven persons
were recognized last year, ten.

REPORT NO. 15-85 -Page 2- September 3rd, 1985
citizens, at least two of whom should be young people under the age of
21 year, because this is International Youth Year. I believe that
consideration should also be given to the nominations of persons who
have done work with youth organizations or who have made significant
contributions in the area of youth activities.
I would suggest that a letter be sent from the Mayor's Office
to various organizations asking for nominations of individuals in the
Municipality for "Citizen of the Year" award.
Advertisements should be placed in the local newspapers
as well.
Respectfully submitted,
ti
GARNET B. RICKARD, C.M.
