Given the unprecedented events of this year with COVID-19 and worldwide demonstrations for social justice, we welcome nominations that might also highlight a person, group or program’s involvement in initiatives that have served to build a better, safer, more inclusive city. All nominees must have been involved in reducing crime and creating a safer community for a minimum of two (2) years.

Awards ceremony and COVID-19
We are excited to see how nominees have pushed forward crime prevention initiatives in the context of physical distancing measures.
It’s too early to say how we’ll hold our awards ceremony – but we will celebrate one way or another! The awards ceremony will take place on Monday, November 2, 2020 from 5 to 7 pm and will comply with the latest Ottawa Public Health recommendations.
