“This initiative will help preserve these stories and ensure they continue to inspire current and future generations.”

Inductees’ will be recognized with an unveiling event each year at the East Lambton Community Complex featuring a photo and brief description of their accomplishments.

Nominations for the inaugural class are being accepted until Oct. 1.
