Recognizing the contributions of community members in the healthy development of children is the goal of the eighth annual Tri-Cities Champions for Young Children Awards.
This year, the Tri-Cities Early Childhood Development Committee is looking for nominees in six categories:
• individual champion – direct service role;
• individual champion – leadership role;
• individual or group champion – working with children who have special needs;
• and group or organization champion; business champion and volunteer champion.
These champions could be anyone in the community who promotes the well-being of young children (under six years of age) through a personal or professional relationship and has demonstrated a commitment to providing a better future for our children.
Repeat nominations are also welcomed if the individual, group or business has not won previously.
Nominations close on March 17 and the winners will be honoured at an awards banquet on May 11 at the Molson Canadian Theatre at the Hard Rock Casino in Coquitlam.
