Last month came the announcement that Team Edmonton has been awarded an Honourable Mention of the Lieutenant Governor’s Leadership for Active Communities Award in the Group Spirit of Community Leadership category.

The Lieutenant Governor’s Leadership for Active Communities Award was developed as a legacy to Norman Kwong’s honorary patronage of the Alberta Active Communities imitative. For Team Edmonton to rank with an honourable mention for such a prestigious award is incredible.

This province-wide awards program recognizes achievements of teams who demonstrate the very best of active community leadership; the breed of individual who works towards making their community and their world a better place. These leaders work to create opportunities for the community at large to better themselves.

June 1st marks the official ceremony for the award recipient. The ceremony will take place at the Royal Alberta Museum auditorium, with the reception to follow at Government House adjacent to the museum.

On behalf of GayCalgary Magazine, congratulations to Team Edmonton, and thank you for all you do to enrich Alberta’s LGBT community.
