Continued from page 4 Youths inspire leadership through their actions Julia's nomination for a junior citizen of the year award is not the first time her volunteer efforts have been recognized. Last year, she was nominated and the recipient of the Skate Canada Central Ontario Section Volunteer of the Year Award for her efforts with the Milton Skating Club, as well she received an honourable mention for the YMCA Peace Medallion Award for 2011. Julia is also a member of CYAN's youth steering committee. "In the short amount of time Julia has been with CYAN, she has acted as a team player, mentor and positive role model. We feel fortunate to have her on our committee and involved in our past, current and future projects," Buhlau said in Julia's nomination letter. Julia's sister, Emma joined CYAN when she was 12 years old, becoming its youngest member. "Most youths tend to engage in volunteer activity during their high school years, as a requirement to graduate. Emma has gone against the norm and shown you don't have to be in high school to volunteer your time," Buhlau said in her nomination letter for Emma. "Emma is able to manage her time incredibly well as a competitive figure skater, an honours student, an activist for environmental concerns and an accomplished volunteer with hundreds and hundreds of hours under her belt." Among her volunteer accomplishments, Emma has attended bi-weekly CYAN steering committee meetings, contributed an article on volunteering for the network's September 2011 newsletter, contributed to its Intergenerational program at Northridge Long-term Care Facility, and assisted with community service projects such as Random Act of Kindness Day at Oakville Place, Midnight Madness, the Christmas 11 · Friday, March 9, 2012 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com Sponsorship Program, and the development of CYAN's annual Fun Skate. "Emma always puts the interest and well-being of others ahead of her own needs. Her motivation to help others shows us she is kind, compassionate and a caring individual," Buhlau said. "Emma has been volunteering in her community since the age of nine and I believe her determination to show others the importance of volunteerism is an inspiration to our youth."
