The City of Port Moody invites residents to nominate deserving candidates for the 2017 Civic Awards.

“We’re lucky in Port Moody to have so many individuals, organizations, and businesses that contribute to the community in such a meaningful way every single day,” says Mayor Mike Clay. “If you know someone who is continuously working to improve the well-being of others, or the community as a whole, I encourage you to nominate that person today. The Civic Awards program helps us recognize and thank people who educate, encourage, and inspire.” 

Nominations will be accepted until Tuesday, October 31, 2017 in these five categories:

  • the Peter Hulbert Accessibility Award honours an individual, business, community group, educator, or government agency that goes above and beyond expectations in removing barriers for individuals with disabilities;
  • the Arts Award celebrates an individual, organization, or business that significantly contributes to, and participates in, the artistic/cultural life of Port Moody;
  • the Environmental Award is given to an individual, organization, or business that advances environmental preservation and awareness here in the City of Port Moody;
  • the Heritage Award honours an individual, organization, or business that advances heritage conservation in Port Moody through special initiatives or projects that preserve, rehabilitate, restore, or create awareness of a cultural resource; and
  • the Sports Award is presented to local athletes, teams, or “builders” (e.g. coaches, officials, sports medicine practitioners, etc.) who are positive role models and encourage young people to get involved in sports and lead healthy lifestyles.
