BC Care Providers Association is accepting nominations for the 7th Annual BC Care Awards.
Every year, the BC Care Awards celebrate excellence in the delivery of seniors’ care in long-term care, assisted living and home health, promote workplace safety, and acknowledge longstanding leadership in the sector.
“Our Association is proud to recognize the unsung heroes of the continuing care sector who deserve to be valued for the challenging and inspiring work they do every day,” says BCCPA CEO Daniel Fontaine. “We encourage our members to nominate their staff for the BC Care Awards—it is an excellent opportunity to celebrate their commitment to providing the highest quality of care to B.C. seniors.”
In years past, the awards were presented at a ceremony in Victoria attended by Members of the Legislative Assembly, key Ministry of Health staff, and BCCPA service provider and commercial members. This year, BCCPA is making the BC Care Awards more accessible for care workers and expanding the number of awards in the Care Provider of the Year category.
The 2020 BC Care Awards will take place at SafeCare BC’s Hearts and Hands conference for health care assistants.
BC Care Provider of the Year (Long-Term Care/Assisted Living/Home Health) recipients from the Interior and Northern B.C. will receive their awards on October 5th in Kelowna; Vancouver Island recipients on October 27th in Victoria; and Lower Mainland recipients on October 29th in Langley.
“We are very excited to partner with BC Care Providers Association, who will host the BC Care Awards at the three Hearts and Hands conferences,” says SafeCare BC CEO Jennifer Lyle. “Two of the goals of Hearts and Hands is to celebrate and inspire. By presenting the awards at the conferences, front-line workers will be celebrated for their work in front of their peers, which we believe will inspire others.”
The Safety Champion and the Ed Helfrich Long-Service Award recipients will be honoured at BCCPA’s 43rd Annual Conference in Whistler, B.C.
