The United Counties of Leeds and Grenville is looking for community leaders. Nominations are open for the Bill Thake Memorial Award.

Nominations are being accepted until September 28. The award will be handed out at the 10th annual Leeds Grenville Economic Development Summit on November 16. The ceremony will be held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre.
