Showcasing excellence in community social services

The BC Community Social Services Awards of Excellence were created in 2015 to celebrate successes in BC's publicly-funded community social services sector and to thank the incredible employees responsible for these successes.

Employees in the community social services sector play vital roles in providing care for people with physical, mental and developmental disabilities; at-risk youth; women experiencing family violence; and children who witness abuse.

British Columbians may meet those working in our sector face-to-face; oftentimes, though, our employees work behind the scenes to ensure that quality services are delivered effectively and seamlessly to children and families throughout the province.

The awards are judged by a panel of volunteers representing the community, academia and business, with award recipients celebrated at a special luncheon held at CSSEA’s Annual General Meeting in October.

The BC Community Social Services Awards of Excellence, sponsored by TELUS, recognize the efforts of social service employees who provide quality care and support to the people of this province and acknowledge excellence and innovation in publicly funded community social services.

CSSEA coordinates the human resources and labour relations interests of approximately 200 publicly funded community social services employers in British Columbia.

TELUS is Canada’s fastest growing national telecommunications company. TELUS provides a wide range of communications products and services, including wireless data, internet protocol, voice, television, entertainment and video.
