Grandparent of the Year | Community Care Peterborough

Grandparent of the Year 2025

For the past 37 years, Community Care has encouraged children to recognize a Grandparent, Elder, or a special older person in their life as "Grandparent of the Year." Every year we are amazed by the stories we receive from children in grade 1 through grade 6.

Over the years, many of the honorees have indeed been grandparents or great grandparents of the students; however, there have been a number of entries that highlight a special senior friend or an Elder who has shared their knowledge with the child.

We accept entries in both English and French. A committee selected one winner and one honourable mention from each group of grades; primary and junior, in both English and French categories. Primary is Grades 1, 2 & 3. Junior is Grades 4, 5, & 6.

All entries must be received by May 6, 2025.

Submit by mail/drop-off, email, or submit online:

Community Care will present eight awards, with four winners and four honourable mentions awarded across two categories of Primary (grades 1 – 3) and Junior (grades 4 – 6). The awards ceremony will take place in early June.
