Earth Day Canada is now accepting applications for their Hometown Heroes awards, which celebrate individuals, groups, and small businesses working within their communities to overcome environmental obstacles.

There are three award categories:

the Individual Hometown Heroes Award—a $10 000 cash-prize to donate to a local environmental group/cause of the recipient’s choice;
the Group Hometown Heroes Award—a $10 000 cash-prize to support the recipient’s work;
the Small Business Hometown Heroes Award—a $5 000 cash-prize that must be used by the business to make an operational change that results in the business lessening their environmental impact, and permission from EDC to use the award and the EDC logo for one year to help market and promote the business and/or an approved product.
