The YMCA of Southwestern Ontario is celebrating the achievements of local youth.
Earlier this month, the agency held its 10th annual Chatham-Kent Celebration of Youth Awards, honouring 11 recipients between the ages of 17 and 20 whose outstanding talents and achievements have made a difference in our community.
Each winner received $1000, thanks to the generosity of local sponsors.
Officials say the recipients embody the YMCA’s core values, including being trusted to do the right thing, keeping promises, believing in the good within people, and creating an inclusive place for everyone.
