Acting mayor, Councillor Shelly McLean, has announced Elkford resident Dustin Murray as the 2012 Elkford Citizen of the Year.
Dustin was nominated as Citizen of the Year for the limitless hours he has dedicated to the Elkford Secondary School Girls’ Volleyball Team since 2007, the WildCat Grass Smash, coaching Club Volleyball and the time he has dedicated to many other clubs and organizations in town.
