Moray is in the spotlight this morning as a Kinloss woman finds herself among 29-Brits chosen for a British Citizen Award (BCA). The BCAs were launched in January 2015 to recognise exceptional individuals who work tirelessly and selflessly to make a positive impact on society. They are awarded twice a year putting ‘everyday’ people whose achievements may otherwise by overlooked into the public spotlight. Janis Thomson, who lives in Upper Hempriggs, is being recognised for playing a lead role in creating a community hall for Kinloss. The 63-year-old got involved 15-years-ago because the area needed a place to stage activities.
