“The Bob Stollings Memorial Award is our most prestigious award, not only because it recognizes the recipient’s professional accomplishments, but because the winner is nominated by their peers – a true accomplishment to earn the trust and respect of those around them,” said Kristy Svoboda, Director of Human Resources.

“Curtis has proven over the years that he is an invaluable asset to our organization, he truly embodies our corporate values in every aspect of his role, making him the perfect recipient for this year’s honour.”

Established by city council in 1985, the award is named after Robert (Bob) E. Stollings, who worked with The City from 1960-1984.
