Coast Mental Health’s Courage To Come Back Awards nominations process kicked off on Friday, Jan. 6. Presented by Silver Wheaton, the Courage Awards celebrate everyday heroes in communities all across British Columbia. These extraordinary people have “come back to give back” – overcoming tremendous adversity or illness to selflessly give back to others.
They are loved ones, neighbours and friends who have faced seemingly insurmountable odds and who have come through with courage, strength and a drive to help make a difference in the lives of others. Their inspiring achievements are celebrated at a fundraising event every May in support of Coast Mental Health.
Nomination categories include addiction, medical, mental health, physical rehabilitation, social adversity and youth.
