We are pleased to announce that the Village of Keremeos was honored with the SILGA Community Excellence Award for Social Responsibility for the Village’s work in reconciliation initiatives.
The Village was nominated for the “Every Child Matters” crosswalk that connects Municipal Hall to Memorial Park. The award was presented to the Mayor at the annual convention of SILGA earlier this month.
The Southern Interior Local Government Association (SILGA) is comprised of elected officials from 37 cities, towns, villages, districts and regional districts in South Central BC. Every year awards are handed out to promote the environmental, social, and economic well being of member communities and to share ideas and best practices throughout the SILGA area.
