Community builder honoured at banquet
The 2015 Battlefords Citizen of the Year sees a lot of potential in the young woman seated next to him at Friday’s banquet.
Kiley Elmer, the Junior Citizen of the Year, is likewise inspired by her counterpart Floyd Anderson.
“I think it’s, how you can build a life around really getting involved in your community,” Elmer said when asked what she can learn from Andersen. “He’s a great role model about how you can take something that you’re interested in and involve the community.”
The difference made to the quality of life in the Battlefords by such involved citizens was definitely a theme of the evening, as friends and loved ones packed the Dekker Centre to honour Andersen and Elmer. Several past recipients were among the guests.
