Canada Sesquicentennial Awards were presented in Bronte Village during Oakville’s Canada Day celebrations on July 1, 2017.
In honour of this historic occasion, the aim for presenting the Canada Sesquicentennial Awards is to acknowledge and thank those who through their actions promoted inclusivity and celebrated diversity, worked to improve the environment, and/or who championed justice, equality, and democratic stewardship; individuals who personally made contributions that have, or are currently making the constituency of Oakville and by extension Canada, a happier, healthier and stronger place to live.

For James Montague, it’s important to keep busy during the pandemic. Since COVID-19 began, he’s been organizing meals and birthdays for some of Oakville’s most important citizens.
James has always been an active part of the Town community. He’s a proud member of Oakville’s Rotary Club. He organizes an annual awards night called the Star Gala, which recognizes Special Olympic Athletes. But, since the start of the pandemic, he has shifted into overdrive.
