Nominate extraordinary achievers for a 2021 Toowoomba Region Australia Day award

Extraordinary times invariably bring out the best in people. Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) Deputy Mayor and Australia Day co-ordinating committee chair Cr Geoff McDonald said the events of the past year meant there were many residents across the Toowoomba Region who deserved to be nominated for 2021 Australia Day awards. “The beauty of the awards is that residents can nominate fellow citizens who have gone the extra mile to help their communities during very trying times,” Cr McDonald said. “Taking a few minutes to complete an online nomination form or sending in a nomination form to Council is a fitting way to honour someone you know who has stepped up during the Coronavirus pandemic, during the fires or drought, or who selflessly volunteers at a community group or organisation. “There are hundreds of people involved in community and not-for-profit groups across the region who contribute countless hours of assistance and run facilities or events for the benefit of fellow residents. I encourage residents to nominate our true blue achievers.
