bull In the sports category sports such as track and field receive too many awards for one person A recipient should get only one award for their total performance rather
than one for each event When watching the presentations it takes away from the honour of the award when someone is called up 5 or 6 times
bull Perhaps you may limit the reading of accomplishments of each athlete to one major item for example only state the one accomplishment they were nominated for
Add more increments to the long term volunteer service category

bull Ontario Citizenship and Immigration recognizes volunteer work every 5 years (510 15 etc) In Brampton it is only after 10 years and then again after 25 years We should be recognizing volunteers more frequently

bull The annual date in May and the ceremony location presented at the Rose Theatre should remain the same as in previous years
bull A new theme should be developed on a yearly basis and will encompass all aspects of the event
bull The theme should come to life through a combination of lighting fabric set designs and projections
bull The presenters seating on stage should be incorporated into the set design
bull The band should be placed in a sectional pit fill and should take on a more prominent role by also becoming the entertainment for the night
