An outstanding member of the community will contribute to a key parliamentary occasion.
The search has been launched to find 129 local heroes, members of the Scottish Parliament asked to nominate one of their constituents.
Every Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) is being asked to nominate one of their constituents who have made an extraordinary contribution to the lives of other people living in Scotland locally or nationally during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Those selected will be invited to contribute to the Parliament’s opening ceremony, an event which will take place in early October, to formally mark the new session of the Parliament.
Dumbarton MSP Jackie Baillie said: “I know many people in Dumbarton, the Vale of Leven, Helensburgh and Lomond give their time and energy selflessly during a very difficult and challenging time, to make a positive contribution to the lives of others - often without recognition.
“Together with my fellow MSPs, we want to celebrate the achievements of our local heroes across every constituency and region in Scotland as part of the opening ceremony.
“I am really looking forward to receiving nominations for our local hero from our area, perhaps from their friends, family or work colleagues, maybe even from potential local heroes themselves.”
To nominate a local hero, call Ms Baillie’s office on 01389 734 214, email Jackie.baillie.msp@parliament.scot or send a letter to Jackie Baillie MSP Constituency Office, 6 Church Street, Dumbarton, G82 1QL.
