“Community” encompasses many things. It’s artists, politicians, businesspeople, scientists, athletes, students and more.

For the past 16 years, Laurentian Publishing, the parent company of Northern Life / Sudbury.com, has honoured dozens of Sudburians for their outstanding commitment to this community.

But we haven’t done it alone. You, our readers, have helped us find the best and the brightest to honour with a Community Builders Award of Excellenece. Every year, we’ve asked you for nominations in each of the nine categories, and every year you, our readers, have come through and helped us find the most community-minded, most deserving Sudburians.

“What we love about the Community Builders awards is that is brings all sectors of the community together to celebrate the people and the organizations that make Greater Sudbury truly great,” said Abbas Homayed, the vice president and publisher of Northern Life and Sudbury.com. “It’s important we pause from our busy lives to acknowledge those who build community.”

Here’s how you can help. We’re looking for outstanding Sudburians to honour at this year’s Community Builders Awards of Excellence. There are nine categories to choose from: Arts, Economic Development, Education, Environment, Health Care, Sports and Recreation, Young Leader, Hall of Fame and Legacy.

The deadline to apply is Nov. 23. Give it some thought. Visit the website CBAwards.ca to learn more about the categories and awards to help you narrow down your choices.

We’ll unveil this year’s crop of winners at the awards ceremony on Feb. 28, 2019 at the Caruso Club.  The Platinum Sponsors for this year’s event are Eastlink and Huntington University.

“We are so humbled by how the corporate community steps up to the plate to become our partners in recognizing the best among us,” Lindsay Donnelly, manager executive programs division for Laurentian Publishing. “We have sponsors who return year after year because they understand the importance of the winners’ commitment to community.”
