Junior Citizens Ontario's Junior Citizen of the Year program takes on a Bicentennial flavor this year with the addition of airline tickets and Bi- centennial books to the list of awards. Up to 24 of the 1984 nominees will receive an airline ticket good for any Canadian destin- ation, courtesy of the program's patron, CP Air. The awards program, now in its fourth year, is co-ordinated by the 235 member papers of Ont- ario Community News- papers Association (OCNA) and by CP Air. During Ontario's Bicen- tennial year the Min- istry of Tourism and Recreation is support- ing the program with the gift of a Bicentennial book to each young person nominated in 1984. David Wenger of Mount Forest, Chair- man of the Junior Cit- izen Committee, said, "We have developed a fantastic program to honor the good young people of this province and the added support of the Ministry in making this a part of the Bicentennial celebr- ations indicates 1984 will be a truly memorable year for our Junior Citizens."'. He said in the first three years, the pro- gram received a total of 428 nominations and "all 418 were certainly deserving candidates for awards." In 1984, organizers hope to bring in a minimum of 250 nominations. "The added incentive of airline tickets and Bicentennial books should help us meet our goal', he said. The Junior Citizen program annually honors up to 12 young people chosen for out- standing contributions to their communities, courageous acts of bravery or remarkable fortitude in overcoming physical limitations. "we are not just looking for the 'super-hero' -- we want to recognize those orginary young people who perform note- worthy deeds in their communities simply as an example of good citizenship or leader- ship," said Mr. Wenger. The 12 outstanding nominees in 1984 and their families will be guests of Ontario Community News papers Association ana CP Air at the newspaper group's convention in Toronto next March, when Ontario's Lieut- enant Governor the Hon. John B. Aird will make the presentations. The guests of honor will also attend a reception with the Lieutenant 'Governor in his Queen's Park suite.
