Cystic Fibrosis Canada Community Awards
Here at Cystic Fibrosis Canada, we're proud to recognize individuals, groups and organizations whose dedication, leadership and generosity have had a significant impact on the lives of those affected by cystic fibrosis (CF). Through our annual awards program, we celebrate the exceptional contributions of community members who help advance our vision to help our community live fully, beyond the limits of cystic fibrosis.
About the CF Canada Community Awards
Community Awards are presented annually to individuals, groups, families and companies who have made exceptional contributions to our mission through the sharing of their time, energy and financial support. These awards celebrate those whose generous efforts improve the lives of Canadians affected by cystic fibrosis.
Each year, community members are invited to submit nominations, which are carefully reviewed by an review panel made up of people from the cystic fibrosis community. Self-nominations are accepted!
