MOOSE JAW — The City of Moose Jaw and the Moose Jaw & District Chamber of Commerce congratulate Swanee Gemmell, the city’s “Notoriously Good Neighbour” for January.
The City of Moose Jaw and the Moose Jaw & District Chamber of Commerce created the program to recognize the notoriously friendly, notoriously generous and notoriously kind-hearted Moose Javians making a notoriously positive difference in the community.
Nominated by his neighbours Lindsay and Kyle Oleniuk, Gemmell is described as the best neighbour they could ask for, who is constantly offering his time and efforts to others.
“Swanee snow blows our driveway, signs for our packages, and keeps an eye on our house,” Kyle Oleniuk explained. “He is happy to share his expertise and lends a hand with our home improvement projects.”
He also noted that Gemmell’s generosity isn’t always physical acts of kindness; he can also be very thoughtful as well. “He is a joy to be around, goes out of his way to converse with us and our pup when we are outside, and even congratulates us on our wedding anniversary every year,” Oleniuk added.
As an official “Notoriously Good Neighbour,” Gemmell was awarded gift certificates to Tunnels of Moose Jaw, a token of appreciation for his contributions to the community.
Moose Javians can nominate their Notoriously Good Neighbour by using the Report An Issue feature on MooseJaw.ca or the free City of Moose Jaw app.
