Top 7 Over 70 Awards

Making a Difference

The Top 7 Over 70 awards celebrate seven extraordinary individuals who, after the age of 70, make significant and lasting contributions to our community. This event highlights the remarkable impact of community members who defy age norms, demonstrating that passion, purpose, and influence don’t diminish with time. Their stories serve as a powerful reminder that it is never too late to get involved, give back, and create meaningful change.

Any individual who is over 70 and lives in Guelph, Wellington County or Dufferin County is eligible to be nominated. These awards aren’t about looking back at a lifetime of accomplishments. They are about celebrating what’s happening now. Nominations may draw on past experience, but achievements should have a fresh twist, a current focus, or represent an exciting move into unfamiliar territory. Let’s honour those who continue to grow, contribute, and inspire—well into their 70s and beyond!

Nominees’ accomplishments can be occurring in fields such as: health, wellness and recreation; arts and culture; science; business; volunteerism; environment; overcoming adversity; and making a difference.
