After hearing numerous stories of individuals, community groups and businesses stepping up to help others in need during this public health crisis, the leaders of Centennial College, Scarborough Health Network (SHN), Toronto Zoo and University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) launched the Scarborough Hero Awards in February 2021. This new awards initiative aimed to recognize those who have gone above and beyond to serve the local community in very substantive and impactful ways during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I am proud to see Scarborough coming together to recognize local individuals who are making a difference. I encourage residents to nominate someone who they believe has impacted Scarborough and have been working hard during the pandemic to support their community.”
