A neighbour shares: Sharon is one of the most amazing community supporters I have seen. She quietly steps up to volunteer for so many community programs. Never takes credit but yet without her help and support many of the projects she is involved in would have fallen apart. She often takes the less glamorous tasks and never fails to flow through. Our community would be a less kind place without her.
Is there someone doing awesome near you?
We want to recognize people who do great things, big or small, in their neighbourhood. Nominations will be accepted year-round, and every nominee will receive a thank you package.
