UPDATED! Nominations are now closed
Nominations are now closed for United Way’s annual Labour Appreciation Awards event, Rise Above: A Night of Hope and Solidarity. Award recipients are selected for their dedication to our community and their steadfastness in going above and beyond to help their neighbours in need.
This year’s event will be hosted virtually on Thursday, January 20, 2022 and the event will feature a live 50/50 draw running from January 10 to January 20.
Every year United Way Elgin Middlesex, in partnership with Labour United, recognizes local Labour leaders in our community who go above and beyond to make sure everyone in our community has a fair shot at their best life.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, our community and workplaces have changed drastically but the good work has continued. We want to recognize those whose commitment and dedication have made a difference.
Nominate your members, your co-workers, and your friends who inspired Hope & Solidarity this past year, whether it was in their workplace or out in the community. We want to recognize members who “rose above” for your local and our community.
We want to celebrate you! We encourage you to nominate those in your workplace who have risen above their normal work expectations. Those who have reached out to help in their communities, to make the world a brighter place, even for a moment, during this time of continued change.
