This award is given by a municipality to recognize an outstanding senior who, enriches the social, cultural or civic life of the community.
Arla exemplifies what it means to be an engaged community member whose impact touches every corner of our township. Arla's volunteer work spans the full spectrum of community life. She tends to the Iroquois United Church Cemetery with reverence and care, ensuring our loved one’s rest in dignity. Through the Community Food Share and Meals on Wheels, she helps ensure that no neighbor goes hungry, delivering not just food but friendship to those who need it most. Walk through our community and you'll see Arla's handiwork everywhere—from the beautiful flowerbeds she installs and maintains that brighten our streets, to the clean roadsides she keeps pristine through the Adopt a Road program. She's helped preserve our local history through her work with the Historical Society of South Dundas and even rolled up her sleeves to paint a pop-up shop and pick up litter wherever she finds it.
Congratulations Arla! We are so proud to have you in South Dundas.
