Every day heroes are all around us. They do amazing things through their work each day and likely, they do it quietly seeking no recognition. Earth Day Canada’s Hometown Heroes Award Program 2014 is giving us the chance to recognize local environmental heroes for their extraordinary efforts in creating greener communities across Canada.
The Hometown Heroes Award Program, established in 2004 by Earth Day Canada, recognizes and celebrates environmental leaders who foster meaningful, long-term community awareness and action. This is your chance to help Canada recognize and celebrate environmental leaders—whether an individual, group or small business—who foster meaningful, long-term community awareness and action. You can read about past Hometown Hero winners here.
From now until March 31, 2014, you can nominate a local deserving individual, a local registered not-for-profit or charitable organization, volunteer group or school, or a local Canadian-owned and operated business working to support a healthier environment.
Here is what is up for grabs:
Individual Hometown Heroes Award – A $10,000 cash prize to donate to a local environmental group/cause of their choice
Group Hometown Heroes Award – A $10,000 cash prize to support their work or the Small Business
Hometown Heroes Award – A $5,000 cash prize that must be used by the business to make an operational change that results in the business lessening their environmental impact, and permission from EDC to use the award and the EDC logo for one year to help market and promote the business and/or an approved product.
There are just a few weeks left to get your nominations in, so download the nomination forms, and start nominating!
