A Moorefield area youth received special mention in the Rural Ontario Institute’s first Youth Engagement Showcase.
Rural communities nominated nearly 50 young people for recognition.
Megan Raftis of Harriston was among four youths selected as the four showcase finalists. The four finalists will be profiled through individual video documentaries filmed in their respective hometowns.
Special mentions were awarded to eight nominees, including Tate Driscoll of Moorefield and Alison Vasey of Mount Forest.
Finalists and nominees will be featured on the institute blog in the coming months at www.ruralontarioinstitute.ca.
