The Milton Youth Awards highlight the positive impact of young
people and raise awareness of the valuable contributions made by
both young people and supportive adults and organizations in the
community. Joining in the celebrations and presenting the awards
were Mayor Gordon Krantz, Regional Councillor Sammy Ijaz, and Town
Councillor Adil Khalqi.
Milton Hydro attended the inspiring event and presented the
Youth Eco Activist award to Aila Battley for her many remarkable
efforts to promote sustainable environmental initiatives and
activism within Milton and for actively trying to leave the planet
a better place for future generations.
“As we look ahead to the coming energy transition
and the electrification of everything, supporting grassroots
efforts to encourage sustainability awareness by youth in our
community is a natural part of our outreach,” said Hassan Syed,
Vice President of Distribution Services, Milton Hydro.
“Aila’s list of accomplishments are inspiring, and we’ll be
watching for her coming successes as she moves on to her
post-secondary education.”
