Introduced last year, the Niagara Impact Awards help recognize and celebrate individuals, businesses and organizations who have made significant efforts to help build a more resilient and welcoming community.

The Niagara Impact Awards showcase those who offer a helping hand in order to make living in Niagara better for others. Last year, winners represented a diverse group of residents who contributed in various ways to help their neighbours, local businesses, and the larger community. Award recipients made a meaningful impact on Niagara’s social economic wellbeing as well as the overall health of the region.

Residents are encouraged to go online to nominate individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations who have shown community spirit while demonstrating the value of volunteerism.

Nominations will close on February 14. Award recipients will be announced at the end of March.
