The organization is seeking nominations for its Ontario Junior Citizen Awards, open to children ages six to 17. Nominees can be youth who have engaged in worthwhile community service, including those who have overcome physical or psychological limitations; individuals who have performed acts of heroism or bravery in the past ear; excellence in personal achievements; or 'good kids' who have shown a commitment to make life better for others and do more than is normally expected of someone their age. The OCNA asks people to nominate a young person who is performing worthwhile community service, contributing to their community while living with limitations, have performed an act of heroism, excellence in personal achievements, or is a "good kid" who is making life better for others and doing more than expected of someone their age. The OCNA's 300 member community newspapers support the awards program. All nominees will receive a Certificate of Recognition from their local newspaper, and 12 final recipients and their families will be invited to Toronto in the spring of 2017 for an awards presentation. Those wishing to nominate a candidate are asked to fill out the nomination forms and include background information, including supporting material such as letters of endorsement or newspaper clippings. The nomination deadline is Nov. 30.
