People in the Dubbo electorate can recognise an outstanding older person in their community with nominations now open for the NSW Seniors Festival Local Senior of the Year Awards.
Local MP, Dugald Saunders, said the awards celebrate the tremendous contributions seniors make within our community.
“If you know a senior who helps make our community a better place through volunteering, innovation or supporting friends and family, now is the time to nominate them for recognition,” Mr Saunders said.
“We are very fortunate to have so many seniors within the Dubbo electorate who are generous with their time, energy and commitment. By highlighting seniors continued efforts in helping our community to thrive, we continue to challenge ageism and empower our seniors to overcome social stigma.”
“This annual festival is about celebrating the positive impact of older people in our families and society,” Mr Saunders said.
Nominations are now open for the awards program, and winners of the Local Achievement Awards will be announced during the NSW Seniors Festival which runs from 2 – 15 March 2026.
