SGC Admin: Thank goodness for those who have a pure heart, for they are the ones who give unselfishly, who assist others and their community, not for their own reasons, but because of one simply humane trait, compassion…. These are the folk who go beyond their job description, such as the teacher who puts in more hours than they should, the volunteers who assist those who have to go into the hospital, the doctor who is more concerned about the patients emotional state than spouting off medical terms, the person in the store who is gracious and pleasant every time they serve you… the list is endless…..

Metroland Media Group (Durham Region Division), who are our local paper want to recognize those who go that little (or lot) bit further to assist others… You are the ones they need to help make this happen by nominating your “hero”….Your “hero’s” will be featured on MMG website and in the local newspaper, each month a gift of $25:00 Tim Horton card will be given to one lucky “hero” through a draw….
Please send your nomination’s along to newsroom@durhamregion.com, please send information about your “hero” in 100 words or less and a photo… You may also go online at http://www.durhamregion.com/localheroes fill in the form and upload the photo of your hero…
Good Luck Everyone… And a huge thank you to all of our “hero’s”….
