October 22, 2021 By Maggi Barnard

Would you like to acknowledge an outstanding contribution someone has made to our community? Nominations are now open for the 2022 Parkes Shire Council Community, Cultural, Environmental and Sports Awards, including the Ron Harrison Sports Bursary.

“This year it is particularly important to recognise the outstanding people and groups in our community, who have positively contributed to the local culture, community and environment during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Parkes Shire Mayor Ken Keith OAM.

“These awards celebrate and showcase the artistic and creative talent that we have in the Parkes Shire. I strongly encourage community members to nominate individuals or groups,” said Manager Cultural Education and Library Services, Kerryn Jones.

The awards cover the 2021 calendar year to date and will be announced during the Australia Day Awards ceremony in January 2022. All nominations must be made online via Council’s website this year at: www.parkes.nsw.gov.au/living-here/your-community/awards/. If you need assistance, visit the team at the Parkes Library and Culture Centre. Entries close on 30th November.
