SAMMY MOROS is passionate about bringing the community together to celebrate.
As chair of the Airdrie Parades and Fireworks Committee, Morros is responsible for planning and executing Airdrie’s Canada Day and Santa Claus parades.
“I’ve lived in Airdrie for nearly 30 years now, and have enjoyed tons of opportunities,” says Morros, who has been with the Parades Committee for eight years.
“I think it’s important to give back to the things we enjoy so that others may enjoy the same experiences we did, and I love getting to see young people having the same joy that I got to have when I was young.”
Morros is also a member of the youth department of the Boys & Girls Airdrie Club supporting tweens, teens and young adults in various areas like employment, education, mental health and recreation.
Nominator Teri Zucht has worked alongside Morros on the Airdrie Parades Committee for three years.
“Sam inspires us with her leadership, her community spirit and her commitment,” says Zucht.
“Her efforts have been appreciated by thousands of spectators every year, and it is time she is openly recognized for her important work in volunteerism.”
In 2024, Morros graduated from Mount Royal University with a communications degree in hopes of continuing to give back to other organizations in Airdrie and continuing her journey as a youth worker.
