RECIPIENTS! They don’t often receive recognition and don’t necessarily have a high profile in the community. But there are a large number of people in Surrey and North Delta who do a great deal of important work. They strive tirelessly – through countless volunteer hours, sometimes overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles – to better the community. And they don’t ask for anything in return. You’ll find them in our schools, on sports fields, in care centres, at the food bank and at various local events.
Annually honouring and celebrating the leaders in our community with pride.
They are truly community leaders. Many have their own families, careers and personal commitments, but still find the time to make a difference by sharing their empathy, enthusiasm and energy. The Community Leader Awards were established 11 years ago to recognize and honour the efforts essential to maintaining this vital and growing community. Each of the recipients’ stories is inspirational, and by highlighting them, we hope others will be moved to contribute in the community and share their own skills, compassion, knowledge and heart with those around them. Thanks to our sponsors, the Community Leader Awards get bigger and better every year.
