City of Prince Rupert now taking nominations for Civic Recognition Award Season


A one month window for nominations is now underway as the City of Prince Rupert opens the annual process for the seven Civic Recognition Awards they could hand out later this summer.

In an information release from Wednesday, the City has outlined the criteria for consideration of the awards, the city now accepting recommendations for the following awards:

Freedom of the City, Civic Merit Award, Civic Appreciation Award, Certificate of Appreciation, Appreciation Pin, Achievement Award,  Sergeant William Booth Award for Valour.

The criteria for each can be reviewed below:


To nominate someone, you must use the city's nomination form which you can review here.

Completed forms can be returned by email at cityhall@princerupert.ca or hand delivered through the mail slot at City Hall, 424 Third Avenue West, narking your envelope or subject line with Civic Recognition Nomination.

The deadline for nominations is 4:30 PM on Friday, June 11th.

Review some background on the process from the City's statement here.

The City's Civic Recognition Policy can be reviewed here.

The annual celebration of community minded Rupertites has in recent years taken place as part of the Canada Day celebrations at Mariner's Park, though last year COVID put those plans on the shelf and it could be the same scenario for 2021.

Further details on how the City plans to recognize those nominated for this year will most likely be revealed next month.
