The city has unveiled its first recipients of the Sunshine Awards.
The awards recognize individuals and groups for outstanding contributions towards making Dauphin a better place through their dedicated service.
This year's recipients include Manitoba Summer Games co-chairs Carla Wolfenden and Clayton Swanton, as well as Brenda Gregory and Jerry Joss.
In a news release announcing the winners, Mayor David Bosiak said "These awards are a way of expressing gratitude to those who go above and beyond to support the growth of our community. Each of this year’s recipients stand out in their own way for their volunteerism and acts of selflessness, which remind us of the community spirit that makes Dauphin such a special place to live."
The Sunshine awards, which were established under the City's Community Recognition Policy, will be presented annually during the Thanksgiving season.
This year's honourees will be recognized at a special ceremony being held at 4:30 today at City Hall as well as on October 21st.
