Nominations open for Sustainable Community Builder Award
Do you know of a group or individual whose efforts have made a lasting impact on our community?
Consider nominating them for the City of Cranbrook’s Sustainable Community Builder Award. Your nomination will show them you value their contribution to our community and provide the winner with a $500 grant to give to a local registered charity of their choice.
The Sustainable Community Builder of the Year Award is given annually on behalf of City of Cranbrook council to an individual, group, club, agency or society that has contributed to the social, arts/cultural, economic and/or environmental sustainability of Cranbrook.
The Cranbrook & District Community Foundation is partnering with the City of Cranbrook in providing $500 to the award winner to donate to the charity of their choice. The funding for the grant comes from the legacy fund left to the Foundation by the Knights of Pythias, Crescent Lodge #33 of Cranbrook.
