Senior Achievement Award Given

An Atikokan resident is back home after received a Senior Achievement Award from the province in a ceremony last week in Toronto.

Vik Prokopchuk says he was honoured just being nominated by his community for such an award.

"Being nominated by my fellow citizens, really that's the highest honour I think can anyone can get," says Prokopchuk, "because the people know you know what you've done or didn't do."

Prokopchuk was recognized for his business and management experience that's benefited both Atikokan and northwestern Ontario.
