Public Safety and Enforcement Officers issue Positive Tickets, which include a gift card donated by a local business, to recognize and reward outstanding role models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In May, a Positive Ticket was presented to four-year-old Harper Frederick for her efforts to help keep her community clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the township, Harper is passionate about protecting the environment and wanted to do her part to make a difference. Understanding that litter can harm the planet, she asked her parents to help her pick up garbage around her neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The township encourages residents to nominate young people aged 16 and under who spread positivity through acts of kindness, community involvement, or helpful behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Residents who know a deserving young person can contact the Township\u2019s Public Safety and Enforcement Department to submit a nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program is supported by several community organizations and local businesses that sponsor the rewards, including the Kin Club, the Legion, Giant Tiger, McDonald\u2019s, and Tim Hortons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young Russell resident has been recognized for her commitment to the environment through the Township of Russell\u2019s Positive Ticket program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":139977,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70,61,72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-139974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","category-news","category-society"],"acf":[],"featured_media_global":{"id":136720,"title":{"rendered":"ACTGV_Young Russell resident recognized for environmental stewardship FRONT"},"description":{"rendered":""},"caption":{"rendered":""},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/png","media_details":{"width":437,"height":594,"file":"2026\/06\/ACTGV_Young-Russell-resident-recognized-for-environmental-stewardship-FRONT.png","filesize":432820,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"ACTGV_Young-Russell-resident-recognized-for-environmental-stewardship-FRONT-221x300.png","width":221,"height":300,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":118430},"thumbnail":{"file":"ACTGV_Young-Russell-resident-recognized-for-environmental-stewardship-FRONT-150x150.png","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":45831},"Image Size 500x500":{"file":"ACTGV_Young-Russell-resident-recognized-for-environmental-stewardship-FRONT-437x500.png","width":437,"height":500,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":351769}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[],"alt":""}},"source_url":"https:\/\/editionap.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/ACTGV_Young-Russell-resident-recognized-for-environmental-stewardship-FRONT.png"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
