Scott got an award too

Apparently, Scott Dobson also received an award, nominated by the Dovercourt Boys' & Girls' Club, for his work with them and the Friends of West Toronto Railpath.

If anyone know of other local award recipients (or if there's a list posted somewhere), please post here.

Thanks to all of you. :)
