Conceived in 2021, the True North Awards were created by the NHCDC to honor individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations whose commitment to the ideals of peace, social justice, community building and cohesion, and economic development have had a positive and consistent impact on North Hill. Recipients are those who lead by example, putting values into action, with integrity and an abiding commitment to peace and community.
