PITT MEADOWS, BC – It’s time to nominate those inspiring individuals, organizations and businesses that make a positive difference in our community. From subtle acts of kindness to major community efforts, all of these actions help enhance community wellbeing and deserve to be recognized.
“There are so many exceptional people and businesses in Pitt Meadows that make us Pitt Meadows Proud™,” says Mayor Bill Dingwall. “The Annual Community Service Awards is our chance to show appreciation for their outstanding community service and involvement.”
The Community Service Awards Program was created in 2019 to recognize and honour outstanding contributions and achievements of groups, organizations and individuals in six categories:
- Spirit of Pitt Meadows Award (recognizing Outstanding Resident of the Year)
- Against the Odds Achievement Award
- Community Service Award
- Community Service Youth Awards (18 and under)
- Business of the Year Award
- Good Neighbour Award
“It’s important to recognize our neighbours, young people, businesses, and community groups that go above and beyond,” says Chief Administrative Officer Mark Roberts. “Their contributions make our community a better place to live.”
Nominations are open until September 30, 2022. More information, including nomination criteria and the online nomination form can be found at: pittmeadows.ca/awards.
The Community Service Awards Task Force, made up of representatives from the community, will review all nominations and select recipients that best reflect the category in which they have been nominated.
Award recipients will be announced and presented with their awards later this year as part of the annual Christmas in Pitt Meadows celebration on December 2.
