Horton Council presented Burt Virgin with the 2022 Township Senior of the Year award at their July 5th meeting.
Mayor David Bennett tells myFM that Virgin won the award based on his work on the township’s annual Remembrance Day services, dedicated to all who served in battle.
However, Mayor Bennett says that Virgin’s contributions to the area, including his career contributing to RCI and their Alumni Committee, run even deeper.
Burt is just one of many people the Township of Horton would like to thank for their efforts. Unfortunately, ceremonies have been held up by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bennett notes the upcoming election may also throw a wrench into plans to commemorate more volunteers.
