Lanark County’s Culture Connector Award went to Almonte resident George Yaremchuk.
The award amplifies the effort of an individual to make the county more inclusive and inviting for newcomers.
Warden Steve Fournier says Yaremchuk took a hands-on approach to helping Ukrainian refugees at the onset of the Russian invasion.
Yaremchuk’s also been a long-time volunteer, serving as an instructor with the Canadian Adaptive Ski Program, and founding the Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month.
