Richmond County announces ‘Council for a Day’ winners
Five Richmond County students will soon have an opportunity to experience what it’s like to sit around the council table.
The winners of Richmond County’s Council for a Day contest were announced at the October 27 regular council meeting.
The contest was open to Grade 5 and 6 students and ran from October 1 to 21. Students were encouraged to “dream big” and come up with ideas for making Richmond County an even better place to live.
Warden Lois Landry said the could share their ideas in a variety of creative ways, including a video, song, poster, poem or letter.
The winning students are:
- Samuel Giroux
- Sage Sampson
- Lillian Martel
- Abe Boudreau
- Olivia Shea
Landry also thanked the teachers who helped facilitate the contest and encouraged their students to take part.
The winners will get their chance to step into the role of municipal leaders at the end of November. They will have lunch with council on the day of the next regular council meeting, followed by a mock council meeting.
