At the Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce, the advent of spring is when we begin the process of sifting through the nominations that we receive for our Annual Awards. The process of selecting the winners from the nominations we receive is the task of an independent advisory board. Of course, the board of the Chamber and its staff put in a tremendous amount of hard work in making the process seamless. And at the end of the process, we select the best that the Indo-Canadian community has to offer – 11 individuals who have made a significant and stellar contribution to the fabric of the Canadian society through their work. Nine of these awards are people’s nominations, and two are chosen by the Chamber.
Over the last two decades and more, the ICCC Annual Awards have come to epitomize the social consciousness of the Indo-Canadian community’s entrepreneurs and professionals, who believe not merely in working hard to prosper and do well for themselves, but also to directly contribute to make Canada a better place. It is this commitment to Canada that makes our award winners different. Nearly every year, the advisory board members are at a loss because they have to choose just one person for each category from the list of nominees, and each of the nominations we receive are of achievers who are great and remarkable in their own way.
It is one of our Chamber’s mandates to recognize the achievements of Indo-Canadians through the Annual Awards, and over the last 23 years, we have undertaken this task with the seriousness it deserves. We have always been in the forefront of recognizing achievement, and in most cases, our award winners have subsequently gone on to garner greater glories from mainstream Canada.
I urge you to nominate a deserving achiever, and we all know achievers in different spheres of life. Take a look at our categories, and the requirements for each of them, fill out the form and send it to us along with the requisite supplementary information. It is our responsibility as members of the Indo-Canadian community to ensure that the best amongst us get the recognition they deserve.
