The City of Warman and Warman City Council are excited to announce that the recipient of this year’s Future Leader Award is Brigette Montgrand.

Brigette has been an exemplary student, volunteer and role model for youth in the community.

In 2021, Brigette gave a helping hand in making sure many events and programs in Warman were a success:

* She is a member of the Warman High School Student Representative Council  (SRC); she has helped plan the 2022 graduation ceremony, collected donations and many other tasks.

* She was an important part of the Summer Fun Program through the Warman Recreation & Community Services Department.

* She helped run activities at The Legends Centre during the city’s Canada Day celebration.

* She worked at children’s birthday parties at The Legends Centre.

To have such a lengthy list of community involvement in a difficult year for activities shows Brigette’s passion for the community.

Brigette is about to graduate from Warman High School.
