Nominations are now being sought for the fourth annual Delta Rotary Youth Awards that will be handed out in May.
A committee from the Rotary clubs of Tsawwassen, Ladner and North Delta will recognize deserving Delta youth, selecting one story that best represents the spirit in each of the award categories.
The winners will be honoured on Saturday, May 12 with a dinner and ceremony at the Delta Town & Country Inn.
The Rotary clubs need the public's assistance to identify those remarkable individuals that are making a difference in the community. Sports groups, church groups, schools and other organizations in Delta are being asked to help recognize these unsung heroes by nominating that amazing boy or girl, age 10 to 18, in one of the categories by the March 9 deadline.
In the Compassion and Empathy category, the individual will have demonstrated these traits in the form of a single event, project or series of actions over a period of time.
The Inner Strength category will show a youth that has achieved victory over adversity and shown hope, courage and optimism by overcoming difficulty.
In the Helping Hand category, the individual has helped others without seeking personal reward or accolades and is given to someone who is always willing to make the world a better place by reaching out to others.
The Global category recognizes an act or project that is international in nature and may address relief efforts, health and prevention, peace and understanding, alleviate poverty, build bridges or celebrate diversity.
