We are pleased to share that Fred Freeman is the recipient of this year's Jack Ross Memorial Award!
Since 1985, each year we have invited nominations from our community for an individual who has made outstanding contributions to children, youth, and families in Oxford County, in memory of the late Constable Jack Ross.
This year's recipient exemplifies what it means to serve others with humility, compassion, and unwavering dedication. Through decades of volunteerism, community leadership, and public service, Fred has made a lasting impact on the lives of children, youth, and families across Oxford County.
From his years of service on the Children's Aid Society of Oxford County Board of Directors to his leadership in municipal government, Rotary, Big Brothers, and countless community initiatives, Fred has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to building a stronger, more connected community. His leadership has helped create opportunities for young people, strengthened organizations, and inspired others to give back.
Today, we are honoured to recognize Fred with the Jack Ross Memorial Award.
