Nominate a deserving individual, organization or business for a Calgary Award

Calgarians have until Friday, March 1, 2013 to recognize fellow citizens for their contributions in making Calgary a dynamic, progressive and compassionate city.

 

Calgary Awards is a City of Calgary initiative that has been recognizing exceptional citizens since 1994.  “Calgary’s greatness is due, in large part, to the commitment of citizens to build the better community they want,” said Mayor Naheed Nenshi. “Our city is filled with tireless, dedicated, and brilliant citizens. Please take a moment to recognize an amazing person, or group of people, that you know is making Calgary even greater.”

 

With 17 awards in five major categories, The City proudly celebrates the difference Calgarians make. “Receiving the Community Advocate and Individual Achievement awards, were very special to me,” exclaimed past awards recipient winner Lonny Balbi. “I encourage others to appreciate someone who has reached great heights by nominating them for a Calgary Award – make their contribution special.”
