Joanne Hayes Recognized as Senior of the Year 2023

The Town of Essex would like to congratulate Joanne Hayes, recipient of the 2023 Ontario Senior of the Year Award! 

The Ontario Senior of the Year Award gives each municipality in Ontario the opportunity to honour one outstanding local Ontarian who after the age of 65 has enriched the social, cultural or civic life of his or her community.

Joanne's passion and care for the Town of Essex runs deep. Throughout her lifetime, Joanne has dedicated countless hours to supporting local groups throughout the community. She’s served on School and Church Committees helping those in need, the Essex Legion, on the Board of Essex Retirees Social Club, the Essex Figure Skating Club, and the Canada Blood Services just to name a few.

In addition, Joanne has volunteered her time in most of the municipal, provincial, and federal elections.

Congratulations Joanne!
