City announces 2025 heritage awards nomination deadline

The City of Wrenford is now accepting nominations for the 2025 Heritage Awards. Residents, community groups, and property owners can submit their recommendations through the Arts & Heritage section of our website until November 15, 2024.

The annual awards recognize outstanding contributions to preserving and celebrating Wrenford's history and culture. Nominations are welcome in three categories: Heritage Conservation for the restoration or rehabilitation of historic buildings and structures; Living Heritage for projects that highlight community traditions or support reconciliation; and Education and Awareness for exhibits, publications, or community programs that share local history.

Mayor Danielle Okafor-Price says, "Wrenford's heritage is what makes our city unique. Whether it's a carefully restored mill, a community storytelling project, or a school program about our past, these awards celebrate the people who keep our history alive for the next generation."

To nominate a project or person, visit the Arts & Heritage page and click the nomination form link. You will need to provide a brief description of the nomination, explain why it meets the category criteria, and include any supporting photos or documents. All applications must be submitted online by 11:59 p.m. on November 15. If you need help with the form, email the Arts & Heritage team at [email protected].

The Heritage Development Board will review all submissions over the winter, and winners will be announced at a public ceremony in the spring. Learn more about the award criteria, past winners, and the full nomination guidelines on the View heritage awards recipients page.
