The community of Shaunavon will honor it's 2015 Citizen of the Year this Saturday evening.

Kathleen East was announced as the Citizen of the Year back in March and her lengthy and varied resume of volunteerism and her work to preserve the community's history is impressive and made her an ideal choice for the honor.

East is a volunteer driver for the Shaunavon Courtesy Car and is well known for her beautiful garden, her love of animals and baking.
