Do you know
an individual who has made significant contributions to the improvement or
advancement of public transit in the Edmonton area? If so, would you like to
see this individual's contributions recognized with the annual Gerry Wright
Better Transit Award?
Five years ago, Citizens for Better
Transit introduced a public award program to recognize outstanding
contributions to public transit. Since its inception, the Gerry Wright Better
Transit Award has recognized worthy citizens at the annual ETS Community Fair
each April.
Sponsored by the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 569 as
well as other organizations and businesses, this award program is important to
demonstrate to present and future generations the high value placed on
individual contributions toward the improvement of our city and its quality of
life. It also serves to encourage citizens to continue to step forward and
promote further improvement of our transit system.
Nominations are
being accepted for the 2010 Award until March 31st (note extended deadline).
The Award will be presented to the chosen recipient on Saturday, April 24th at
the ETS Community Fair and Opening of the Century Park LRT
extension.
Nomination forms are available at www.bettertransit.ab.ca; nominations are accepted either by
regular mail or electronically (email) to [email protected]
