Citizen of the Year Named

Fort Frances' Citizen of the Year says she's honoured but humbled by the recognition.

Diane Maxey was bestowed the honour in an announcement by Mayor Roy Avis last night.

Maxey says its an honour she accepts on behalf of the many people she works with.

"No one person ever does anything by themselves," says Maxey. "It takes many, many people. It takes a team to make anything work well. That's what I always been privileged and honoured to have with me, people who are committed and willing to do things. It's a great honour."

Maxey is best known for her development and direction of the Choraliers and the Rainy River Hand Bell Ringers
