Citizen of the Year Award

No elected official presently serving the Town of Cardston is eligible for nomination.

Applications can be picked up at the Town Office, or downloaded by clicking on the appropriate links above.

You may submit your nomination online by filling out the form below. If you have any supporting documents, you can submit them with the form, email them to info@cardston.ca, or drop them off at the Town Office.
