Awards of Excellence winners announced Back to video
The awards event, formerly known as the Pride of Strathcona Awards, was cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic but the county decided to go virtual this year.
“We did have a few applications from last year that were forwarded to this year, however, due to the pandemic and how residents and groups have stepped up to help the community, there were more applications received this year as opposed to previous years,” explained Angie McConnell, a county communications specialist. “We are so happy with the response to the call for nominations and the willingness of the community to recognize these efforts.”
