Since the idea was born in 2006, the Pillar Community Innovation Awards has become the biggest storytelling event for the social impact sector in Canada. The Pillar Community Innovation Awards celebrates how individuals, organizations and enterprises are investing in positive community impact in our region in the categories of Innovation, Leadership, Impact, Collaboration and Community Choice.

At the core of the Pillar Community Innovation Awards is a desire to share stories of positive impact and to build community connections for social good. Our hope is to honour and amplify those doing critical work to improve our region, raise awareness about systemic issues and inspire our attendees to consider how they can contribute to a more engaged, more vibrant and more inclusive community.
