What are the Integrity Awards?

Each participating Rotary Club in the Capital Region nominates an individual who promotes high ethical standards and raises awareness of Rotary ideals.  The purpose of these awards is to honour adult, non-Rotarian members of the community for their integrity as citizens; someone who is an un-sung hero.  Each participating club recognizes one such individual at the Annual Integrity Awards Dinner. The criteria for selection are that the individual is:
  • A non-Rotarian adult resident of Alberta;
  • One whose lifestyle is consistent with the Four Way Test;
  • Someone whose life shows purpose and expresses principles widely accepted in the community;
  • One who, regardless of circumstances, takes a stand without concern for personal loss or reputation;
  • A person who may not necessarily have a high public profile; and
  • One who has made a personal contribution to the region, which would warrant special recognition.
