Nominations are now open for the second annual BayToday Community Builders Awards, an event that celebrates the individuals and organizations making North Bay a better place for all.
The Awards recognize exceptional achievements in the categories of Arts, Economic Development, Education, Environment, Hall of Fame, Health Care, Legacy, Sports and Recreation, Young Leader and Unsung Hero.
Open to all residents, businesses and organizations in North Bay, the Community Builders Awards serve as a platform to spotlight those who often work tirelessly behind the scenes, fostering positive change within the community.
Lisa O’Kane, former principal of Widdifield Secondary School and the winner of the 2023 Education Award shared her perspective.
“The difference that a good teacher can make in the life of a student is immeasurable and invaluable. To have that little snippet of recognition is truly a blessing,” Lisa reflected. “I’m very humble and grateful to be recognized for what I've done in the community.”
Beyond the honour of receiving an award, the Community Builders Awards offer a unique opportunity for winners to inspire others by showcasing their impactful work, encouraging active community engagement.
“I don’t feel like this is my award, I feel like it’s Bonfield’s award!” Shared Steve Featherstone, Director of Reptile Adventure Camp and winner of the 2023 Sports and Recreation Award. “We have great people here.”
The 10 winners will be presented with an award at an intimate ceremony and highlighted in BayToday feature articles, providing them with well-deserved recognition.
If you know a business, charity or individual making a significant impact on the local community, nominate them for an award today at baytoday.ca/cbawards. Nominations are open until March 28, 2024.
