Community Awards Program

Submissions Now Closed.

Cystic Fibrosis Canada is pleased to announce the launch of the 2024 Community Awards program. The CF community, which includes volunteers, donors, fundraisers and supporters, have helped to change the cystic fibrosis (CF) story — and what a powerful, encouraging and inspiring story it is. Thanks to their effort and contribution, we advanced research and care that has more than doubled life expectancy for a Canadian born with cystic fibrosis and brought CF into the conversation.

Today, tens of thousands of people strengthen Cystic Fibrosis Canada, generously donating their time, energy and financial support toward the important work we do to realize our vision of a day when people affected by this disease can live without limits.

Recipients of Community Awards have demonstrated excellence and made a significant contribution to the mission and strategic direction of Cystic Fibrosis Canada while maintaining a high level of commitment to Cystic Fibrosis Canada’s values (Connected, Impactful, Inclusive and Bold). They are role models and inspiration for others and demonstrate integrity and honesty in their contributions.

Our Community Awards program is peer driven, and community members are encouraged to submit nominations for people they believe have gone above and beyond. Self-nominations are also accepted.

In 2024, we’ve introduced a simplified awards process, including changes to our range of awards, based on feedback received from our community. Those familiar with the existing awards may note a few small changes to the criteria.

We will continue gathering feedback on the awards program so that it remains a reflection of the impact and heart of our community and stays an important way to recognize the exceptional contributions so many make to the CF cause.
