Two residents and one business owner are celebrating some recognition from the Town of Prescott.
At a special ceremony Monday night, Mayor Gauri Shankar and the rest of council presented this year’s Community Awards to Nancy Hutt, Fraser Laschinger, and the owners of O’Reilly’s Your Independent Grocer.
Hutt, who won Volunteer of the Year, was recognized for her work with town staff, the Prescott Legion, and local retirement and long-term care homes.
Citizen of the Year winner Laschinger won the award for work on projects like Prescott’s Sandy Hills Cemetery and the Museum and Visitor Centre.
O’Reilly’s Your Independent Grocer was selected as the 2023 Business of the Year for its support of community events and initiatives.
Shankar thanked each of the winners individually for their dedication to the Prescott community.
