Tom is an active leader with Youth in Action, here in Bancroft, helping manage over 100 events a year; targeting youth ages 11-22. Thanks to his leadership the group has seen a 200 per cent increase in membership over the past year. The other recipients this year were: Chloe St. Armand of Petawawa, Paige Dillabough of Renfrew, Sierra Howald of Sudbury, Mitchell Case of Sault Ste. Marie and Joel Speers from Uxbridge.
