Jr. Citizen off to Paraguay When Cara Lozano’s family found its way to Grimsby after moving from South Africa, she realized right away what she had in her new hometown. “I love Grimsby. It is a huge part of my life and I would not be who I am today without the town,” said Lozano, the recipient of Grimby Chamber of Commerce’s Junior Citizen of the Year Award. “I was in disbelief when I heard I won. I am sure there were a lot of really good nominations, to be considered is an honour. Lozano will re-
CARA LOZANO ceive her award at a dinner May 18. Since first getting involved in volunteering when she was in Grade 8, Zozano has not only maintained her interest but expanded it. At school she has been active with the Pilgrimage Committee, tennis team, been a student sec-
retary and been involved with safe talk and suicide prevention training. Outside of school, Gillian’s Place, Grimsby’s public library and art gallery have both benefitted from her efforts. This August she will travel to Paraguay as part of Rotary International’s exchange program. “I am not sure of the exact location as yet, but I am very excited about that,” she said. For post-secondary studies, she plans to go into landscape architecture. “I want to build beautiful things
and I want to work with people,” said Lozano. “With volunteering, I recognize I am part of the community and there is a resonsiblity there. You owe something to your community and I want to give back.” “A lot of people do. I’d like to thank all the volunteers and organizations out there working hard. I am not the only one. I just help out.”
