The City of Port Moody invites residents to nominate deserving candidates for the 2018 Civic Awards.

“The Civic Awards program is an opportunity for the City to recognize and thank the people in our community who work tirelessly to improve the lives of others,” says Mayor Mike Clay. “These people – coaches, athletes, teachers, business owners, and members of community groups, as well as advocates for local heritage, arts and culture, and the environment – are the foundation of our vibrant community. If you know someone who contributes to the community in a meaningful way, I encourage you to nominate that person today.” 

Nominations will be accepted until Monday, April 30, 2018 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.
