In Memory of...

Lindsay Norton

We can't know why the lily
Has so brief a time to bloom
In the warmth of sunlight's
Kiss upon its face
Before it folds its fragrance in
And bids the world good-night
To rest its beauty
In a gentler place!
But we can know that nothing
That is loved is ever lost,
And no one who has ever touched a heart
Can really pass away,
Because some beauty lingers on
In each memory of which
They've been a part.

Lindsay Norton Memorial Award

The Miss Teen Ontario East Pageant organization is honoured to rename our previous Ambassador's Award to the Lindsay Norton Memorial Award in memory of former 2nd Runner UP to Miss Ontario East and recipient of this prestigious award.

Lindsay was a wonderful Ontario East representative and someone who demonstrated the traits and positive attitude that are recognized by this award.

Delegates are scored on their enthusiasm, dedication, co-operation, participation and respect for their fellow delegates and towards all those individuals involved with the various aspects of the pageant weekend festivities and the production itself.

Lindsay portrayed all of the above mentioned traits and was overwhelmed when previously presented with this award. Lindsay was tragically taken from us, but we on the Miss Teen Ontario East pageant committee, want to honour her memory and her contribution and dedication to our organization through this annual award.

The Lindsay Norton Memorial Award will be incorporated as an annual award at our Pageant in memory of an amazing young lady who was taken from us much too soon.
