The deadline to submit nominations for the City of Sarnia's 14th annual Accessibility Awards is fast approaching.
Residents have until September 30 to tell the city about individuals, organizations and businesses who step up to create a more accessible future for the community.
The Sarnia Accessibility Advisory Committee recognizes local leaders who have gone the extra mile to improve accessibility, inclusivity and awareness for people with disabilities.
“Building an accessible and inclusive community takes all of us, but meaningful progress often begins with individuals and groups who lead by example,” said SAAC Chair Debbie Draganits in a news release. “By recognizing these leaders and celebrating their contributions, we hope to inspire others to take action and help create a Sarnia where everyone feels welcome and valued.”
Nominations can be submitted in the following categories:
• Prelude to Excellence for Large Business (30 plus employees)
• Prelude to Excellence for Small Business (less than 30 employees)
• Creating Opportunities for an Accessible Community
• Outstanding Service in a Social Service Sector
• Kevin Schenk Legacy Award
Learn more and submit a nomination online by visiting www.sarnia.ca/AccessibilityAwards.
Awards recipients will be recognized with a formal event around Dec. 3, 2026 to mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
