The Acton Rotary Club honoured Pastor Ray Vander Kooij as the 2018 Acton Citizen of the Year on October 16, 2018 at the Acton Town Hall. Pastor Ray Vander Kooij was honoured as a catalyst and connector for those in need in his community. Serving as the pastor of Bethel Church in Acton has allowed Vander Kooij to be involved with members of the church and community in a number of capacities, from providing individuals with networking opportunities, to addressing social issues, to fostering togetherness and belonging. The major initiative he has been spearheading over the past few years is the housing task force of the Community Support Network, of which he is also a member of the lead team. The network seeks to move forward the social pillar of the sustainability plan of Halton Hills, Vander Kooij says. Vander Kooij receives his official Citizen of the Year plaque from the Acton Rotary Club.
