Nominations for those who truly embody Isaac’s mantra of pure people power are now open for the 2021 Isaac Region Australia Day Awards.
Residents are encouraged to nominate their community champion, the quiet go-getter or perhaps the humble hero by Sunday, 30 November 2020.
Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said the annual awards are an opportunity to acknowledge and say thanks to some of the region’s most noteworthy residents.
“We are region rich in resources, but we are also blessed with the greatest resource of all – our people,” Mayor Baker said.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that even though we have to stay apart at times, human connection in communities is ever so important.
“We continue to show that our pure people power is helping our communities to thrive as we continue to help energise the world. In Isaac, we’re used to meeting new people and no-one stays a stranger for long.
“We enjoy sharing our enthusiasm and pride of our region with each other and this is the chance to celebrate that person we all think highly of.”
Mayor Baker said the awards are a chance to honour those individuals, groups and organisations who have made a significant contribution to our social, civic, sporting and cultural life locally, nationally and internationally.
“Nominees can be from all walks of life from youth, to community groups, to senior citizens,” she said.
“We want to shine a light on the outstanding achievements of everyday people who make us proud to be Australian.”
