Community Sport Hero Awards - May 3, 2011

It was a night of recognition at the St. Eugene Mission last night as Sport BC presented awards to six local sport heroes presented by Encana Natural Gas.  These volunteers are the lifeblood of continued development and delivery of sport programs in British Columbia.

Founded in 2001, these awards play an important role in recognizing the dedication and leadership of British Columbia's sport volunteers.  Each award recipient received a trophy made by the same people who make the Oscars, as well as a $100 gift certificate.

Congratulations to the following outstanding volunteers who have been selected by their peers to receive the 2011 Sport BC Community Sport Hero Award in Cranbrook:

- Debbie Mandryk, Skate Canada BC/YT Section
- Darren Sutton, Lacrosse
- Jim Webster, Orienteering
- Joanna Thom, Special Olympics
- Peter Sweetman, Curling
- Bill Watson, Boxing
