Hailing from the Haldimand area, Steve Baxter was honored with this award because of his dedication to the Student Crime Stoppers program at McKinnon Park Secondary School since just after the new millennium. As assistant head of the English Department at MPSS, Steve Baxter also volunteers many hours to the betterment of the school through various extracurricular activities including not only Student Crime Stoppers, but also the school’s graduation and badminton program. Baxter works tirelessly to motivate his students to set goals and specific projects including community breakfasts, CPTED reviews and most recently the creation of a generic Student Crime Stoppers video which the program hopes to share with other student groups across the country.
