To the editor:
We are very fortunate to have many people in the South Cariboo who give willingly of their time and expertise to help make our community a better place.
Ingrid Meyer is one of those people. She is so deserving of the 2016 Citizen of the Year.
In addition to the many volunteer activities that were outlined in the 100 Mile House Free Press recently, Ingrid has also given her time to the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre as a board member for the past year and to the South Cariboo Food Security Committee for the past three years.
As a core member of the South Cariboo Food Security Committee, Ingrid initiated the idea of the Community Place Garden at First Street and Birch Avenue.
She has also led, operated, marketed and distributed the Share a Meal Program, which has provided more than $10,000 worth of restaurant meals for people in need as well as $10,000 worth of revenue for local food businesses.
Thank you to Ingrid and all the people in the South Cariboo that give of their time to create a healthy and happy community.
