Do you know someone who has gone above and beyond to make a positive impact in Hillhurst Sunnyside? Whether they’re a dedicated volunteer, a neighbour making a difference, or someone whose community service efforts have helped improve the lives of others, now is your chance to recognize them!
Each year, the Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Association (HSCA) presents the Community Service Award (CSA) to an individual whose volunteer achievements have contributed to the well-being of our vibrant community. If you know a deserving candidate, we encourage you to nominate them for this special recognition.
Why Nominate?
The CSA is more than just an award—it’s an opportunity to celebrate the individuals who make our community stronger. Whether it's through organizing events, offering support to neighbours, or leading initiatives that benefit everyone, these efforts deserve to be acknowledged.
At last year’s AGM, we had the privilege of recognizing and honoring two outstanding volunteers, LaVerne and Janet, for their tireless contributions to HSCA. Their dedication and many volunteer hours have left a lasting impact on our community, from supporting Tuesday’s Sip N’ Chat, to assisting with Neighbour Night and our Sustainable Food Program, ensuring neighbors have access to good food and a welcoming space. Their efforts continue to make a meaningful difference, and we were thrilled to celebrate them both.
Who will be next? It could be someone you know!
