Angelica Kalubiaka and Neil Falls recognized for volunteerism and exemplary action.
Mayor Jim Watson, with Councillors from Innes and West Carleton-March wards, recognized Angelica Kalubiaka and Neil Falls’s dedication to the community at today’s City Council meeting by presenting them with the Mayor’s City Builder Award.
Angelica Kalubiaka is an energetic young resident of Orléans who is dedicated to making her community a better place through volunteerism and leadership. She is a proud Franco-Ontarian who has been a strong advocate for francophones, youth and women. Ms. Kalubiaka was a member and then president of the Orléans Youth Council where she provided non-partisan advice to local MPs and MPPs on policy issues and the priorities of youth in our community. As a member of the Ottawa Youth Engagement Committee, she worked to increase youth engagement in decision making with the City of Ottawa. She organized a variety of networking and community events for youth and was instrumental in organizing the first “Mayor for a Day” initiative to promote youth engagement in municipal politics.
Ms. Kalubiaka also has an impressive academic record and has been recognized on several occasions for her leadership. She was selected as a Canada Youth Summit delegate in 2019, and in 2020 she represented Canadian youth at the first Virtual Youth Summit, organized by Global Changemakers.
Some of her accolades include the Orléans 150 Award, and the Orléans Leading Women and Girls Award. She is also a recipient of the Canada 100 Black Women to Watch 2020, from Canada International Black Women Excellence.
Neil Falls is a lifelong Carp resident and is an integral part of Carp’s volunteer landscape. He was the 2021 President of Agriculture for the Carp Agricultural Society, and one of the 2022 Agriculture and Homecraft Directors on the Carp Fair team where he has been a board member since 2010. Neil moved through all the director positions – a 13- year volunteering commitment – before becoming president last year during a very challenging time for the fair following the cancellation due to the pandemic.
Mr. Falls has championed or been a part of most major projects in the village, including the Carp Cenotaph and the Light Up the Village festival campaign. He is also the Chair of the Safety Committee of the National Capital Heavy Construction Association and has been the voice and expert resource for safety to the industry and to the municipal government. He has been a board member of the Carp Village BIA since 2014 and he has worked on numerous community improvements and networking initiatives.
