On May 6, as part of Squamish Youth Week (May 6–12), the community of Squamish will celebrate the youth of our community by presenting nominated youth with a unique award. These awards will represent key areas that are not otherwise recognized elsewhere. Each award has been sponsored by an organization in our community and the Youth Week team would like to recognize these sponsors for their support and encouragement of youth in Squamish.
We are asking you to nominate the youth in our community by reviewing the categories below and filling out the nomination form. Nominations MUST be received NO LATER than April 25, 5 p.m. All nominations will be reviewed through a process by a selection committee. Recipients and runners up will be announced at the Celebration Ceremony taking place on Monday May 6 at The 55 Activity Centre. Nominees, award recipients, family and friends and supporters of Youth Week are welcome to attend. Light refreshments and food will be provided. Youth can be nominated in more than one category but can only win one award.
