The Reminder is among the top three finishers in the Salute to Veterans category for the paper’s Remembrance Day special section, which was released Nov. 4. The section was compiled mainly by volunteer Morley Naylor and worked on by Sharon Kirkup, Shannon Thompson, Tracy Trydal, Eric Westhaver and other members of the Reminder team. Westhaver is in consideration for five individual awards, including four for writing and one for photography. Westhaver is one of three candidates for the group’s Photographer of the Year award, with five photos selected by The Reminder being sent for competition judges’ consideration. Those photos include images of a large fire near the Co-op cardlock facility at Timber Lane last May, from the Drag Queen Mermaid event last July, photos from last summer’s Canada Day parade, an image of slo-pitch player Alex Quaal hitting a softball and a photo showing a socially-distanced Halloween snack chute on Hemlock Drive.
