The Annual Pemberton & District Chamber Awards take place at the Pemberton Valley Lodge on Thursday night, January 30, from 7:30pm. Admission is free.
The Chamber will be recognising the 2013 Citizen of the Year, as well as the Business of the Year, Community Service Award and Customer Service Award.
Last year, Karen Tomlinson joined the ranks of Citizens of the Year, alongside Marnie Simon (2011), Russell Mack (2010), Ed Thompson (2009), Arlene McClean (2008), the Pemberton Childcare Society (2007), Lisa Ames (2006) and more – all proof that Pemberton is a dynamic little town, made more so by the dedication of some serious movers and shakers.
The PSS teacher was described by colleagues as a “fly under the radar” type person – she was recognised in 2010 in the first Winds of Change Wellness Recognition Awards for Promoting Healthy Lifestyle Choices in Pemberton – after being nominated by a student for the time she makes herself available to students at lunch and afterschool for help.
