Nominations are open for the 2023 Rotary Delta Youth Awards, the first after a four-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
All three Delta Rotary clubs — North Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen — are co-presenting the awards honouring young people who have contributed to their community by reaching out to others or by showing remarkable courage and strength, who have combated adversity and hardship, or who have demonstrated global citizenship by helping those in other parts of the world.
“Rotary Delta Youth Awards honour some truly amazing young people. It is both humbling and inspiring to recognize these unsung heroes,” awards chair Leslie Abramson said in a press release.
“We are reaching out to the schools, churches, sporting associations, youth groups, non-profits and the people of Delta to nominate worthy young people of school age.”
Nominations are open until May 29 in the following four categories:
• Compassion and Empathy (for those demonstrating individual acts of caring and kindness to others)
• Inner Strength (for youth who made something good out of a bad situation or overcame adversity)
• Helping Hand (for that all-round young person who helps others without seeking personal rewards or praise)
• The Global Award (for projects undertaken by “youth that are international in nature”)
To nominate someone of school age in any of the above categories, contact Abramson at abramson@telus.net for a nomination form.
This year’s awards will be handed out at a special ceremony at the Genesis Theatre (located at 5005 45AA Ave., adjacent to Delta Secondary School) on Monday, June 12 at 7 p.m.
