The Crime Prevention Council is seeking nominations for the 2013 Mayor’s Community Safety Awards, presented by Union Gas and supported by the City of Thunder Bay and the Thunder Bay Police Service.
The Awards recognize citizens and groups who are working to improve community safety and quality of life in Thunder Bay. Nominations close on Sept. 27, and the awards will be presented at the Nov. 4 meeting of Thunder Bay City Council, during Ontario’s Crime Prevention Week.
“We at the City of Thunder Bay are working hard to ensure our City is a safe one, but we can’t do it alone,” said Mayor Keith Hobbs. “Each year, many of our citizens step up to help, getting involved in their community through important projects that increase quality of life, change attitudes, address the root causes of crime, and make the City a better place for all of us to enjoy.
