PITT MEADOWS, BC – Nominations are open for this year’s Community Service Awards, which aim to honour the inspiring individuals, organizations, and businesses that make a positive impact in our community.
“The Community Service Awards are a wonderful way to recognize the local heroes that make us Pitt Meadows Proud™,” says Mayor Nicole MacDonald. “Pitt Meadows is filled with many outstanding people, organizations and businesses who deserve to be celebrated.”
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 that positive actions from subtle acts of kindness to major community efforts are recognized,” says Chief Administrative Officer Mark Roberts. “We encourage everyone to nominate those who go above and beyond to make our community a better place to live.”
Nominations are open until October 1, 2023. 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 at a private event in 2024.
