Gravenhurst resident Judy Humphries has been named an Ontario Senior of the Year for her contributions to the local community.
The Ontario Senior of the Year Award allows each municipality in Ontario to recognize an outstanding local resident aged 65 or older who has enriched the social, cultural, or civic life of their community each year.
“It’s a real honour to congratulate Judy on receiving this tremendous recognition,” said Mayor Lorenz. “On behalf of everyone on our council, as well as our town staff and the entire community of Gravenhurst, I want to thank Judy for her service.”
Town officials said Humphries received the award in recognition of her contributions to the Gravenhurst Municipal Heritage Committee and the Gravenhurst Archives.
Humphries has served as chair of the Gravenhurst Archives since 2015 and has been a member of the Gravenhurst Municipal Heritage Committee since 2011.
Officials said the decision to recognize Humphries followed recommendations from the public and a review by council.
