The Youth of the Year Award was established in 2005 by Mayor Ivan Gallant. It is annually presented by the Town of Kensington to a youth member of the community who has demonstrated accomplishment in three or more of the following areas:

• Academic excellence; outstanding achievement in athletic or cultural activities
• Significant contribution to school affairs and extracurricular activities
• Participation in community activities together with demonstrated leadership skills
• Overall good character and citizenship

 

Our 2011 Youth of the Year Award was presented to Tyler Doucette.

Tyler, through a process of public nomination, is judged to have demonstrated outstanding achievement in each of the aforestated areas of endeavour. As a maturing leader, he has dedicated himself to countless school activities, community involvement, and is a true community volunteer, all of which builds the Town of Kensington to become a stronger community for everyone. It is with great pleasure that this deserving youth member of the Town of Kensington has been selected to receive the 2011 Youth of the Year Award.
