ACE Alumni Communities and youth are in the news! Youth are making a difference by being committed to their communities through volunteerism and leadership.
Award recipients in High Level, Hinton, and Innisfail were part of a recent ceremony accepting the Queen's Golden Jubilee Citizenship award from Lieutenant Governor, Ethell. Sidney Lapp of High Level, Evelyn Cranston of Hinton (daughter of two of our ACE leaders), and Kelty Douglas of Innisfail received the honor of meeting Lieutenant Governor and being publicly acknowledged for their important community contributions. All are recent high school graduates.

These young women were chosen because of their outstanding performance in citizenship, leadership, community service, and volunteerism. They were recognized with a medal and $5,000 for personal development and tuition.
Honorable D. Ethell addressed the crowd by saying "Each recipient has helped make Alberta an even better place to live and I have no doubt that they will continue to do so into the future."
These young woman and their leadership are vital to our communities and it is important to acknowledge their strengths. Equally important is to recognize the people in their community who have been exceptional mentors and role models to these girls' lives. Young people are very capable of being good citizens and these young women have proven it.
