"Tumbler Ridgelines is such an important resource to our community……Trent works tirelessly on the paper as well as volunteers for so many things in the Community . We are very fortunate to be the only Community in the South Peace with a newspaper that focuses on TR . Trent has one person helping with finding advertisers but does all of the writing, editing and delivery himself. Because of that and his commitment to the community, Trent attends all Community events. He has served on the Emperors Challenge planning committee, WNMS, the Youth Centre, the Library and the Chamber and this shows in his paper as he works hard to create community"

"Home hardware Is by far one of the best businesses in Tumbler Ridge. They have just about everything you could need for your home, but then they go above and beyond with pet food, toys, shoes, candy, you name it they probably carry it. Their prices are very fair, and they have helpful employees. And they also donate to so many fundraisers and non profits. They are an amazing business, definitely deserving of business of the year."

"Tim spends much of his time when he is not working, volunteering with the outdoor groups and taking care of trails. Tim is known for going above and beyond. He goes about cleaning areas where people have dumped just because he wants to ensure the areas surrounding TR are clean and beautiful.. He was on the Chamber board when the Chamber was successful in attaining a Job Creation Partnership grant and he was instrumental in ensuring that the new trails were built and improved properly and his knowledge and assistance was valuable. Whenever someone posts for assistance on the Facebook pages, Tim is almost always the first to offer help."

"Rose Snider is a long time resident of Tumbler Ridge who has dedicated the majority of her life to public service and helping others. To really understand all Rose has done for the community, one would have to go back to the day she moved to town. Rose is a generous, genuine and kind person who has given years of outstanding service for the betterment of our community and to write down all of her participation would take several pages."

"Erin is always helping out at functions, She takes great care of the Arts Council and all of it’s events. Erin is sight impaired but doesn’t let that slow her down.

"Terry Cosgrove and the TRDS have worked tirelessly for the community. The hours they have spent building a legacy for the community in the Fair Grounds, is inspirational. They have provided a spot for events, music, and family time. They have hosted fantastic family filled events which started many years ago with the Grizzly Valley Days, Grizfest and now includes the Fall Fair and the Blunden’s Halloween Haunt. They have done this for the Community of Tumbler Ridge. They go above and beyond to host unique and fun filled events.

Tumbler is so lucky she chooses to live here!"

"The Community Gardens give people a beautiful spot to enjoy in the community. Shauna Shea has worked hard, she went above and beyond for the gardens this year! Creating a even larger and amazing shared area and fundraising to get more beds next year. My favourite thing is the sprout boxes she got donated for kids gardening."

"Mark works tirelessly to ensure all students find success in his classroom. He gives up weekends, evenings and summer days when students need help. Now that some students are adults, they ask him for advice, references and invite him to weddings. They bring their children for visits and tell him how he’s helped them, through school and life. As a principal, it makes me happy to know the students are cared for every day while learning the material with a passionate educator, as a wife, it makes me proud."

“The Lush Desserts bakery offers a luxury to the little town of Tumbler Ridge - fresh and diverse baked goods. Various small coffee shops have come and gone from TR over the years, but in my memory, never one that focused on baked goods as well as specialty drinks that are ordinarily only accessible in bigger municipalities. The diversity offered by this business - lunch/savoury items, sweet treats, birthday cakes, cookie decorating kits, catering - allows many opportunities to benefit the population of TR. Lush Desserts loves supporting its community and deserves this award for its efforts! Amanda is constantly striving to provide a quality product and service to our community. She generously donates to good causes in town. She trains her bakers with valuable life skills and one even went on to open her own baking business!"
