Nominate Albertans who help prevent family violence

Jul 7, 2018 | 10:25 AM

Nominations are now being accepted across the province to recognize people or organizations who inspire action in their communities to prevent and stop family violence.

The seventh annual Inspiration Awards will take place in November and honour Albertans whose work helps to advance healthy relationships.

Nominations are being accepted in categories for individuals, community groups and businesses and include family violence, sexual violence, child abuse and bullying.

Individual awards will also be given out for lifetime achievement and for emerging excellence for young people aged 24 and under. The innovation award, which honours transformative work on these social issues by an individual, community group or business, is a new category of the Inspiration Awards this year.

“Albertans across the province are making their communities stronger through prevention and awareness,” says Irfan Sabir, Minister of Community and Social Services in a press release. “These awards help us say thank you to those who are helping families, individuals and children feel safe and protected. I encourage Albertans to nominate the inspirational members of their community.”
