Avril Lavigne Named Napanee’s Citizen Of The Year

Avril Lavigne’s parents Judy and John will be on hand on the evening of April 9, to accept the Napanee District Chamber of Commerce award as their Citizen of the Year on their daughter’s behalf. “I thought that was very nice that they were honoring Avril that way. I was quite pleased for her,” Judy tells Kingston This Week, adding that Avril was happy about the award when she found out about it last week. “It seems really kind of different because she’s so young – just 18, barely an adult. It’s really unusual… it’s her quick rise to fame and putting Napanee on the map.”
