A Coquitlam realtor is hoping to shine the spotlight on youth who give back to their community with a new award to help a Grade 11 or 12 student get ahead in life.
Applications are now being sought for the Burke Mountain Homes and Community Leadership Award established by Rebecca Permack.
The award is open to Grade 11 and 12 students who live in the Burke Mountain area and who have demonstrated strong community service and leadership, scholastic strength and an entrepreneurial spirit.
The application deadline is May 15 and submissions must include an 800-word essay. The winner will be announced May 30 and will receive $1,000.
