2020 Community Social Services Awards of Excellence

After careful consideration and in consultation with both CSSEA’s Awards of Excellence member committee and TELUS, CSSEA has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Community Social Services Awards of Excellence. As you may be aware, today was the official due date for submission of nominations but given the extraordinarily difficult circumstances the sector is facing, it is evident that encouraging members to divert their attention to submitting nominations would not be appropriate at this time. In addition, given the uncertainty as to when British Columbians can resume normal life, it remains unclear whether travel around the province to film awards videos, which would be required in July, would be possible.

We thank all members who took the time to complete nominations. We will consider all completed nominations and will allow amendments to all partially completed nominations in 2021. CSSEA will continue to monitor COVID-19 developments as they relate to the holding of our 2020 AGM and Fall Conference, currently scheduled for October 13-15 in Vancouver.

We thank TELUS for their support and appreciate their understanding of the impact that COVID-19 is having in our sector. In its continued effort to support members, TELUS has launched a number of virtual work services, which it is offering to members at no cost for 90 days.
