The Community Spirit Awards provides us with an opportunity to recognize a few of the many Oakville residents that contribute to Oakville’s livability. I encourage everyone to nominate and share the stories of those community champions who are truly making a difference in the community.

The Town of Oakville is once again honouring community champions who positively contribute to the life and spirit of the town. Nominations are now open for the 14th Annual Community Spirit Awards recognizing outstanding individuals, groups and businesses in eight categories.

Nominations will be accepted until Monday, April 13 at 4 p.m. in the following award categories:

• Access Award, sponsored by MEDIchair Halton
• Arts Award, sponsored by The Oakville Beaver
• Environmental Award, sponsored by Tim Hortons
• Group Volunteer Award, sponsored by the Town of Oakville
• Heritage Award, sponsored by Genworth Financial Canada
• Individual Volunteer Award, sponsored by Paradiso Restaurant
• Senior Award, sponsored by Amica
• Youth Award, sponsored by RBC Royal Bank

This year’s annual Community Spirit Awards presentation will be held on Wednesday, June 3 at Oakville’s Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre (QEPCCC). The 2015 Community Spirit Awards will be designed by local ceramic artist and QEPCCC instructor Thomas J. Suh, who is a regular exhibitor at the One-of-a-Kind Show.

Nomination forms are available at all town recreation facilities, Town Hall and Oakville Public Library branches, or can be completed online. For more information about Oakville’s Community Spirit Awards categories and nomination requirements, please visit oakville.ca.
