This award was for a non-for-profit organization that has made an outstanding contribution to the Burnaby community and its citizens, and in doing so has made Burnaby a better
place to live, work and play.
Denise Haskett, our Community Leader attended the award dinner along with our Board President Trudi Shaw, Core Person, Sue Allen and Sig Stark, Director of Fund Development.
In her acceptance speech Denise said :
Through this award you haven’t just recognized an organization, you are recognizing those who often have great difficulty finding their place in society. You are telling them that they are welcome…that they have friends in this community. Society is richer when everyone, regardless of race, religion, culture, ability or disability, can find a place and reveal their gifts. L’Arche strives to be such a place, and the City of Burnaby is a place where we can share those gifts and they are welcomed. Together we are stronger.
We are eager to see event and recognition will help us develop new relationships in our business community. Other award categories were Community Spirit, Business Innovation, Entrepreneurial Spirit, Environmental Sustainability, Business Person of the Year, Small Business of the Year and Business of the Year. The Burnaby Board of Trade also inducted Electronic Arts its Business Hall of Fame.
