The Society for Community Development is again hosting the Spirit of Community Awards in September and nominations for the honours are being accepted.
The awards ceremony recognizes and celebrates the participation of the unsung heroes within the Tri-Cities - everyday citizens who voluntarily contribute their time, talent and/or resources to make our communities stronger and liveable for all. Currently, there are nine awards available for which citizens living in the Tri-Cities may be nominated. Categories include:
environment;
middle school youth;
youth;
arts and culture;
cultural harmony;
neighbour to neighbour;
community action;
community volunteerism;
lifetime achievement.
The awards ceremony will be held once again with the Taste of the Tri-Cities event on Tuesday, Sept. 20 at the Red Robinson Show Theatre. The event demonstrated its ability to bring the community together for a night of celebration, raising community spirit and civic pride.
Nominations for these awards are open and the deadline for nominations is June 3. Those who know a volunteer who goes above and beyond for our community are encouraged to make their recommendations by filling out the online form at www.societyforcommunitydevelopment.com.
