Chantal Bérubé Memorial Fund Youth of the month

The Youth of the Month award is an honour presented to a youth who is either a resident of or student in Beaumont between the ages of 12 & 18.

Chantal made sure to let young people know what they were doing right and how their contributions to our community made a difference. We want to keep that tradition alive in her honour and need your help.

Tell us about your fantastic babysitter, reliable employee, dedicated volunteer, or otherwise awesome youth. Each year a Youth of the Year will also be chosen from the monthly award recipients.

To nominate a youth, pick up a nomination form at: Chantal Bérubé Youth Centre 5600-49th Street, Beaumont

Or fill out an online form at: http://bit.ly/CBYCYouth

Registration is needed for some programs, and schedule is subject to change without notice. Call 780-929-2665 or check www.beaumontlibrary.com.
