Carol Evans, Citizen of the Year

Carol Evans is an outstanding example of an individual who believes and acts on behalf of all people in need. The people of Kensington and surrounding areas have benefited from her years of compassionate service and friendship. You will often find her working in health care, helping at our community care homes, Christian council, outreach groups, or the food bank. She raises money for hospitals, for people needing dental and health care, and sets the standard for us all in staying fit and promoting healthy lifestyle choices. She is always there to welcome newcomers to our community and works hard to ensure everyone feels welcome and continues to improve the quality of life for everyone she meets. “Carol is an example to us all on how to live and care for others in our community.”   

We are proud to recognize Carol Evans as our 2021 citizen of the year.
