Nominations Now Open

Nominations Now Open for Citizen Recognition Awards and Make Our Hometown Beautiful Program
Posted on 06/16/2025
The City of Charlottetown is now accepting nominations for its annual Citizen Recognition Awards and Make Our Hometown Beautiful program.

The Citizen Recognition Awards are given annually to residents, groups or organizations who have contributed, enhanced or had a positive impact on the city or its residents. Recipients of the awards could be your neighbours, co-workers, community leaders or local groups or businesses. The Forbes Kennedy Volunteer of the Year Award is presented to one resident who has demonstrated initiative, leadership and creativity in their service to others as a volunteer.

As part of the City’s commitment to urban beautification, the Make Our Hometown Beautiful program recognizes residents, businesses and community groups that contribute time and effort to maintaining beautiful gardens and landscapes. Three winners will be chosen from the list of submissions based on curb appeal or what can be viewed from the road without entering private property. Mayor Philip Brown will select one submission for the Mayor’s Award, and the City will select six residential gardens for the Communities in Bloom 2025 Miracle-Gro Best Garden Selection Program.

Recipients of all awards will be announced at an awards ceremony in August during Natal Day celebrations.

Community groups and residents can self-nominate or nominate others for the Citizen Recognition Awards and the Make Our Hometown Beautiful Program.

Nominations can be submitted at charlottetown.ca/citizenawards for the Citizen Recognition Awards.

Nominations can be submitted at charlottetown.ca/MOHB for the Make Our Hometown Beautiful program.

The deadline to submit nominations is Sunday, July 13 at 11:59 p.m.
