Community Impact Award Nominations 2026

Nominations for the Theo-Roger Community Impact Award are officially opened for 2026.

Dedicated to changemakers in our community, the Theo-Roger Community Impact Award honours the life and legacy of Theo Wouters and Roger Thibault, who for decades have fought prejudice, and discrimination in Canada, Quebec, and the West Island.

Do you know a 2SLGBTQIA+ person who has had an outstanding impact on the community? Consider nominating them for the 2026 Community Impact Award.
