BELLEVILLE – A local man is being celebrated for his accomplishments.

Belleville resident John Cairns, a philanthropist and motivational speaker, was nominated and chosen as the winner of the  2016 Peter Soumalias Philanthropic Unsung Hero Award of Canada.

The honour, which is granted through Canada’s Walk of Fame, is given to a Canadian who has gone beyond the call of duty within their community to both inspire and motivate the next generation.

In the video, Makala Chapman tells the story of how Cairns turned tragedy into triumph.
