Behind the Scenes

We are excited to announce the return of Youth Athlete of the Month presented by Fort Motors! Each month, we will select one young athlete as nominated by you to recognize them for the hard work they do. Not only do we write up an article showcasing their story, they also receive a $100 prize courtesy of Fort Motors. We recently announced the April Youth Athlete of the Month so make sure to check out that article. To nominate someone you know, go to moosemediafsj.ca/youth

Don’t forget to also nominate people for the FSJ Co-op Community Champion and the Pita Pit Teacher of the Month! These giveaways are a great opportunity to give thanks to the people who make our community a great place to live and to recognize them for all of their hard work.
