"the award also reflects on my industry and government partners and on my graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 who have contributed significantly to my success."

but while natural selection processes preside over success in nature, the official recognition committee presides over the selection process for the exceptional achievement award. the award recognizes contributions made to the community, and allows the city of thunder bay to officially show its appreciation for outstanding achievement among its citizens.

"it is a great pleasure and an honour to receive the citizens of exceptional achievement award. i am flattered that the city should feel it appropriate to recognize my efforts in this way," said dr. hollings.
