Congratulations to the 2024 Ontario Volunteer Service Awards Winner for BSF

The Ontario Volunteer Service Awards recognize adult & youth volunteers for their outstanding contributions and years of continuous service to a single organization within Ontario. Membership alone is not a qualification for recognition. Volunteers can be nominated annually by their organization.

Those nominated will receive a personalized certificate and lapel pin celebrating their years of service to the organization from 5 years to 65 years of continuous years of service in 5 year increments and for youth volunteers (under the age of 24) for 2 or more years of continuous years of service.

Since 1986, the Ontario government has recognized more than 250,000 volunteers across the province. In 2024, 6,650 community volunteers within the province will be honoured.

This year, the Brooklin Agricultural Society is proud to recognize the following volunteers for their outstanding and longstanding years of service to the Brooklin Agricultural Society and the Brooklin Spring Fair:

Andrew Hodson (5 years)
Kristin  Slute (15 years)
Shelly Hopper (20 years)
Neil Guthrie (25 years)
Anne Marie Werry (30 years)
Eldon Werry (45 years)

2024 Parade Grand Marshalls

This years grand marshals are…Anne Marie and Eldon Werry.
Eldon Werry  joined the Brooklin  Spring Fairboard in 1978 after being asked by his uncle, Alf Jackson, if he would like to be a junior director.
In 1985, Anne Marie joined Eldon on the fairboard and for years the two of them worked together on various committees. Eldon was President twice during his 45 years of being involved. Anne Marie was Secretary/Treasurer for 20 years.
They also volunteered with Durham West 4-H and Kedron Park Association, where their children were involved in many sports.  Anne Marie kept busy within their church volunteering as well.

They are very proud that their children; Maria, Sarah and Dan have caught the bug to volunteer!! 4-H and Brooklin Spring Fair have benefitted from their love of being involved and helping others!

Retirement from dairy farming has allowed the two to be able to lend a hand where needed with their families. They are especially happy to be back at Brooklin Spring Fair meeting up with old director friends and helping Sarah organize the Back Forty for Fair weekend.
