Unsung Hero Award and Celebration

The Unsung Heroes Award is an initiative of First Unitarian Church of Victoria and the Community Social Planning Council, a non-profit organization providing leadership to bring the community together to create a sustainable quality of life for everyone in BC's Capital Region.

This annual award acknowledges and celebrates the work of one from surely a number of deserving citizens within BC’s Capital Region, someone whose unusual service to the community over time reflects the principles of both the First Unitarian Church of Victoria and the Community Social Planning Council. We are partners in the presentation of this annual celebration because of these shared values and because there are so many deserving but unsung heroes.

The Unsung Heroes Award is an initiative of First Unitarian Church of Victoria and the Community Social Planning Council.
