Congratulations to Spencer Kulinitch, recipient of the first SoHo Award for Community Service. On June 22, 2010 the SoHo Community Association presented its first Award for Community Service. This award is a recognition of an individual and/or group that has made a contribution that enhances, improves, or positively effects the overall quality of the SoHo community.
Our first recipient, and the inspiration for this award, is a young man whose selfless actions saved a life, and in doing so also brought a great deal of recognition and funding for an organization that does a lot of good work with very little recognition or funding. That person is Spencer Kulinitch. He is a student at Aberdeen Public School on Grey Street.
If you don’t know Spencer’s story you should: Spencer intervened in the destruction of some Canada goose nests along the Thames River. He stepped in and traded his bicycle to save one of the eggs which ultimately hatched. The gosling was turned over to a wildlife rehabilitation centre where it will be raised to maturity.
Because of all of the attention Spencer’s actions received, an event at his school raised more than a thousand dollars in donations for the Salthaven Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Centre where the little goose now lives.
Spencer’s father assures me that this is “just the kind of thing Spencer does”, a simple act of kindness and generosity. It is also an inspiration. Spencer’s act exemplifies good citizenship, standing up for what is right, protecting those in need, putting other’s needs ahead of your own, and taking responsibility to protect our shared world. These are the qualities that this award celebrates. Spencer, will you and your folks please come forward. An anonymous donor has also provided a small gift for Spencer.
