The Living Landmark award has been given annually since 2006 to a person or persons who have demonstrated an outstanding contribution to the quality of life in Niagara.
“Ward has played a significant role in our community whether through founding and operating Simpsons Pharmacy or his positions with the Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, Arena Fundraising Committee, Community Centre Fundraising Committee, Red Roof Retreat or the Christmas Parade Committee,” says Lyle Hall, Niagara Foundation Chair.
“The Niagara Foundation has had a long history honoring residents who contribute to our community in a tireless and selfless way. Ward is one of those people – we’re delighted to be celebrating him!” says Jane Dagg, Niagara Foundation Director and coordinator of the award celebration dinner.
