imagineCALGARY Accepting Submissions for 2010 Awards
Once again, imagineCALGARY Partners are being given an opportunity to recognize those organizations in the community that are working to create a sustainable future for our city. The year 2010 will mark the third time the imagineCALGARY Awards have served to acknowledge Calgary’s leaders in sustainability.
“The imagineCALGARY Awards are really about recognizing those business and community groups that are committed to achieving the Vision of The imagineCALGARY Plan,” says Carolyn Bowen, Chair of the imagineCALGARY Steering Committee. “The Awards offer an important and welcome way of celebrating the many sustainability successes that are taking place all across our community.”
The imagineCALGARY Awards recognize contributions toward the long-term sustainability of Calgary with two awards:

The imagineCALGARY Leadership in Sustainability Award recognizes organizations or businesses that are not imagineCALGARY Partners but which demonstrate excellence, innovation, involvement and leadership in the adoption and incorporation of practices that support the long-term sustainability of the city of Calgary within the target scope of The imagineCALGARY Plan. |
