Community building, unity and cultural celebration were on full display as the City of Lethbridge and the Reconciliation Lethbridge Advisory Committee (RLAC) held their annual Reconciliation Awards evening Monday night in City Hall.
Eight community members and organizations were recognized for helping set their community on a meaningful path to Reconciliation.
Award recipients’ efforts showed dedicated support to partnership building between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and groups, leading to a more equitable, inclusive society, says the City of Lethbridge in a press release.
“This event truly showcases the outstanding dedication shown by people in our community to build strong and lasting equality here in Sikóóhkotok (Lethbridge),” said mayor Blaine Hyggen in the release.
“It is an opportunity to celebrate how hard these folks work and the difference they’re making in our community, for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous residents.”
