The Blue Mountains, May 11, 2023 – On the occasion of its 40th Anniversary in 2023, Beaver Valley Outreach is pleased to announce its “Making Good Things Happen” awards program to recognize individuals or groups who have made a positive impact in The Blue Mountains. BVO will be presenting four $1,000 awards, one for each decade of its 40 years, at its 2023 AGM in 2024.

In keeping with its mission to enhance the social, economic and environmental well-being of people in the community, BVO is looking for individuals or groups whose contributions have made a recognizable and positive impact in 2023. The impact may be on our environment, a benefit to children, families, seniors, youth or individuals, something new in our community, or an improvement on something that already exists. (Please note that, although BVO applauds all volunteering efforts, this is not an award for volunteering.)

Anyone or any group wishing to be considered for an award can either be nominated or apply themselves. Nominations or applications must be submitted to BVO by January 31, 2024. More information on the awards will be posted on BVO’s website and social media as soon as more details are available.
