In the City of Kawartha Lakes, there are several awards programs, but none that are municipality-wide and focused on youth. Individual schools present awards for youth based on academics, sports and citizenship qualities, but there are no awards strictly for youth aged 12 – 24.

We have decided to recognize the youth in our community with an awards ceremony dedicated to them. The nomination period opens on January 16th and ends on February 28th for the following categories:

• Arts Achievement
• Humanitarian
• Entrepreneurship
• Green Award
• BGCKL Club Spirit
• Physical Literacy
• Leadership
• Resiliency
• Ron Kennedy Scholarship Fund

The actual awards ceremony will be hopefully taking place on June 20th at the gymnasium at the club, and will be an afternoon filled with great music, food and entertainment.The Youth Awards has been postponed to the Fall. Thank you to all our nominees and supporters. We will keep you updated about our capacity to host a live event based on Public Health recommendations.
