Do you know an individual who is “Strong As Stone”?

The Town of St. Marys is encouraging residents to recognize those who give back through its Strong as Stone program.

The program allows residents to nominate individuals whose selfless deeds contribute to the quality of life in our community. Eligible nominees are publicly recognized at a Town Council meeting, celebrated in the media, and given an official certificate.

"This program is a wonderful opportunity to honor those who make a real difference in our community,” says Mayor Al Strathdee. “Their generosity and dedication inspire us all, and it's important that we recognize their efforts."

St. Marys residents of any age, or those from outside of the community whose actions benefit St. Marys, are eligible for nomination. Only volunteer and voluntary service can be nominated; elected officials and those who do good as part of their job cannot.

Nominations will be accepted until May 2, 2025. Nominees who meet the criteria will be announced in May.

The application form can be completed online at www.townofstmarys.com/StrongAsStone; paper copies are available at the St. Marys Public Library by advance request to Corporate Communications Team Lead, Stacey Frayne at communications@town.stmarys.on.ca.
