Joe Tersigni has been named the town’s Senior of the Year.
The mayor and members of council highlighted the invaluable contributions of seniors to our community as they handed out the award at this week’s regular meeting.
The Senior of the Year award, granted by the Government of Ontario, is awarded annually by a municipality to recognize an outstanding senior who, after age 65, enriches the social, cultural or civic life of the community.
“I am pleased to honour Mr. Tersigni as our 2024 Senior of the Year and congratulate him on this accomplishment,” said Mayor Annette Groves. “He is an inspiration for all of us and our community has benefitted from his service.”
Joe’s activism began in 1989 and moved to Caledon in 2014. The community has benefitted from his generosity and dedication to community and culture.
Joe has been involved with the Bolton Italian Cultural Centre and the Humber River Foundation where he organizes fundraisers and community events. He was also instrumental in securing Caledon’s Sister City agreement with Isola del Liri by hosting delegations and joining the mayor and council on visits to the Italian town.
His contributions exemplify the vital role seniors play in enhancing and nurturing the fabric of the community.
