Here’s how to nominate an individual for the Tim Jones award

They’re wanting for a person who can live up to the superior identify of Tim Jones.

Nominations are now open for the Tim Jones Local community Achievement Award. The award is supplied out on a yearly basis to a local community volunteer who has made an excellent contribution to the outside or sports community. It’s named for the late North Shore Rescue workforce chief and awarded as section of the Vancouver International Mountain Movie Competition.

Immediately after the nominations are in, a jury consisting of Jones’ widow Lindsay, longtime North Shore Rescue colleague Peter Haigh and former District of North Vancouver mayor Richard Walton will pick out a winner.

They are actively seeking “unsung heroes” who otherwise have not viewed their accomplishments acknowledged publicly.

Past winners include Shaun Hollingsworth, president of the Seymour Salmonid Culture, Todd “Digger” Fiander, who produced some of the initially mountain bike trails on the North Shore, and Enzo Federico, founder of the Knee Knacker.

Any person wishing to nominate a neighborhood volunteer really should prepare a letter of 500 to 700 terms to explain their nominee’s effect on the local community, supported by photos, video links and other suitable products.

Nominations are open right until Jan 29 and have to be submitted through VIMFF’s website below. The winner will be announced in the course of the Vancouver International Mountain Film Competition, presented online this year from Feb. 19 to Feb. 28.
