Those who go above and beyond in the community have the opportunity to be recognized in the Okotoks Hall of Fame.

The awards began four years ago as a way to recognize those who have positively impacted the area.

Marni Hutchinson. communications specialist with the town, says the awards cover different categories like sports, arts and culture, and community service.

"It could be a sports team or an athlete but it could be someone who's contributed to building arts and culture in Okotoks, it could be someone who's been a long standing volunteer with an organization or someone who's just really contributed to how we see and know Okotoks today."

Hutchinson says there's a couple different ways to submit a nomination.

"You can visit the Town's website and search Hall of Fame, there's a page dedicated to the nomination process and there's a nomination form online that can be downloaded and filled out," she says. "There'll also be brochures around town available for pick-up at the Municipal Centre and at the Recreation Centre."

The nomination deadline is Mar. 31 with the award recipients being announced in June.
