The contest was announced during local government week, launched last October, with the contest ending on Nov. 3.

This contest aims to inform students in the local community about the Warden's responsibilities, the services Peterborough County provides for its residents and the various career and elected office opportunities within local government according to a press release.

Grade 9 to 12 Peterborough County students were asked to submit a 60-second video answering two questions:

  1. What do you love about living in Peterborough County?

  2. What is one thing that you would do as Warden of Peterborough County?

The winning student will join Warden Bonnie Clark for the County Council meeting and they will also assist with the official presentation of the VIP Trophy for the 2023 Peterborough County Plowing Match. There is also a tour of Peterborough County facilities and will receive parting gifts.
