On June 17, the Quebec Community Groups Network launched the official call for nominations for the the 2011 edition of the QCGN Sheila and Victor Goldbloom Distinguished Community Service Award.
Launched during the kick off of the QCGN’s 15th anniversary celebrations in 2009, the award was instituted to honour individuals like Mrs. Sheila and Dr. Victor Goldbloom who have gone above and beyond in contributing to the vitality and understanding of our community.
Mrs. Goldbloom, who was on hand for the award launch in June, encouraged individuals and organizations to celebrate community leadership by bringing forward worthy candidates.
The awards will be judged by a Blue Ribbon Panel of outstanding Quebecers that will include past winners and past judges. The jury will consider a number of factors including the impact of the nominee’s contributions as well as the breadth and impact of their work.
