Elected officials (currently in office) and employees of Niagara Region are not eligible.
For applications made this year, the three runners up will automatically be forwarded to the next two years.
An adjudication committee comprised of the Regional Chair, Regional Councillors, Regional Senior Staff and one member of the community will review the nominations and select the recipient.
The award will be presented at the Regional Council meeting in July. The recipient's name will also be engraved on the commemorative plaque which is displayed in the lobby of the Regional Headquarters Building.
