Provost Gillian Renwick saw out the first ever Bishopbriggs Community Council Youth Ambassadors and inaugurated this year’s ambassadors into the role at the annual Bishopbriggs Community Day.

• Spoken at the Bishopbriggs Community Council Meeting about their aspirations for the town
• Attended the Remembrance Sunday Event and laid a wreath
• Switched on the Bishopbriggs Christmas lights
• Worked with the Council’s Communications Team to promote Earth Hour
• Visited residents at Mavis Bank Nursing Home and entertained the residents.

Provost Renwick presented the outgoing Youth Ambassadors with a certificate of distinction to mark the end of their time in the role before inaugurating three pupils from Thomas Muir Primary as this year’s ambassadors.

Provost Renwick, said,

and to personally thank them for all their hard work in representing the young people of Bishopbriggs during their time in office. They have been excellent ambassadors and have set the bar high for the three Thomas Muir pupils who have picked up the baton.

“However, the new ambassadors have been selected for their energy, commitment and talents and have already been putting their own stamp on things. They have their first official engagement in the diary already; officially launching the Summer Reading Challenge in Bishopbriggs library. I look forward to meeting the new ambassadors again soon and finding out what other engagements they plan for the year ahead.”
