"Lush Bakery is such an amazing addition to our community . The Bakery always has fresh , quality artisan items, sweet and savoury.  Amanda is a phenomenal cake decorator, every cake is a work of art. Also: Donut Day! (Every Friday)"

"Ronke works tirelessly in our community to ensure our most vulnerable are fed and given the dignity they deserve. She has created a 'shopping' experience for those who need to access the food bank and I know many people who have appreciated her kindness over the years she has done this."

"Terry has put in countless hours over the many years she has been part of the society, there is so much work that goes unnoticed between contacting sponsors, planning and organizing future events and facilitating activities and events. Terry has volunteered in Tumbler Ridge for 12+ years without asking for anything in return and taking it upon herself to organize incredibly fun family events and activities, lifting the livelihood of our community and reenergising our burnt out volunteers. She chairs our meetings and keeps things moving even during the unfortunate times of this global pandemic, it didn't slow her down and she brings a fresh eye for detail and takes pride in what she does for the residents of Tumbler Ridge."

"Amanda Rimes is always willing to go above and beyond to make my visions come true. She will make sure I am 100% satisfied with everything and if I do need anything fixed she does it with no questions asked and in a timely manner with a smile on her face. She's always willing to deliver as well. She is just a happy and creative person and it's a real pleasure to deal with Amanda"

"The Lion's Club goes above and beyond and will volunteer for events to ensure people are fed well. They also run the Flatbed Campground in the summer months. This gives people from all over a great opportunity to camp in our area for a reasonable cost. The volunteers are an aging group, but they are very active in the community. They provide bingo, a concession, funds for people in dire need. If it wasn't for the Lion's, community events wouldn't be as well attended."

"Mr Deeley is not an ordinary teacher. This man goes above and beyond when it comes to teaching. He truly cares about his students both in class and out of class.   He is always thinking of new courses which he could provide to our kids which give them real time life skills which they need. He created the Fish Farm course which has been a huge success and every year there is a waiting list for kids who want to take this course.  He has also created the broadcasting course.  Both of these courses give our teens new skills which they can take with them once they leave high school. As well both courses have involved the community. The fish farm welcomes members of the community to not only live-stream what is going on in the class, but he welcomes members of the community to come and tour the fish farm. This year they had a tour of the fish farm as well as trick or treating for our community while  there.   The radio station has contests which involves our community.   My sons never had a teacher like him before.   He believes in every student and does everything he can do to make sure they succeed.  Mr. Deeley is a humble man who truly deserves this honour."

"Paula is a leader who inspires her employees to use their imaginations to create programming that is needed in the community.  The workers become leaders themselves. Paula truly cares about those who work with her."

"Jan and Dean go above and beyond when we need something ordered in to the store. We appreciate their willingness to find great deals and offer assistance  all the time."

"Over the past year I have watched Bryce face just about every business and restaurant challenge the world could have thrown at her: A global pandemic, delayed ingredients deliveries, new computer systems, staff changes, internet issues, tv issues, event planning and many more.  Yet every single time she took it in her stride, came back with a wide smile, a humble belief in herself, amazing food, drinks and excellent customer service. I hope she's as proud of herself as I am of her!!! You're a star Bryce!!!"

"TRMBA has worked very hard for several years and seen big accomplishments like a bike track in town and trails being built.  This group definitely deserves this award."

“This event deserves a first place medal, it is run so well. It brings people into our community and it recognizes elite athletes as well as people such as local mothers, youth, miners and children.  It puts them all on equal footing for a day of fun, laughter, sweat, tears, scratches, bumps and bruises and complete exhaustion and satisfaction. What other sports event has brought so much attention to Tumbler Ridge and so many visitors to our community?  This event is amazing. Although there is an element of competitiveness, it is mainly competing with yourself. The other amazing thing about this race is that people help each other.  Hats off to the planning committee and those who donate so much of their time and energy to putting on this event and hats off to WNMS who maintains and builds many of our amazing trails in TR.I really hope the race can take place in 2022."
