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.”

The trial of five people accused of the murder of a man in Norfolk is to go ahead in February despite Covid restrictions.
David Lawal died from a single stab wound in Brandon Road, Thetford, on October 3 last year.
Lisa Desousa, 22, of London Amrik Singh, 18 of London, Iddi Zito, 18, from East London and Elie Saba, 34, of Ilford and a 17-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons have all denied one count of murder and conspiracy to supply Class A drugs between April 1 and November 21.
The trial had to be put back earlier this year because Covid restrictions meant there would be difficulties with having a trial involving so many defendants.
