Seniors from Mississauga and Brampton are among 15 in the province recently recognized by the provincial government for outstanding contributions to their communities and Ontario.

This year’s recipients of the Ontario Senior Achievement Awards include Brampton’s Mardan Singh Grewal and Mississauga’s David Kent.

The pair was among honourees presented with the award during a Nov. 29 ceremony at Queen’s Park, presided by Lt.-Gov. Elizabeth Dowdeswell and Seniors Affairs Minister Dipika Damerla.

Grewal helps seniors remain active and healthy by organizing exercise programs for seniors, such as yoga and jogging groups.
