It’s where trailblazers, community builders, and everyday heroes come together to share, inspire, and be celebrated.”

The nominees and award winners will be coming to Sylvan Lake from across the province including Calgary, Drayton Valley, Blackfalds, Lethbridge, Fort McMurray, Edmonton, Red Deer, Brooks, Athabasca, and Spruce Grove. There will also be some nominees from Sylvan Lake as well.
