There are leaders among us – those people who are determined and dedicated in their contribution to the awareness and prevention of HIV/AIDS. The Roger LeBlanc Spirit Award distinguishes one such member (living or posthumous) of the Calgary community every year.

Named in honour of Roger LeBlanc, a long-term employee of SMED International (now Haworth), who was diagnosed with HIV in the early 1990s, the award is aimed at emphasizing the importance of HIV/AIDS awareness, while keeping Roger’s memory alive.

To nominate a person who you feel deserves this award, download the nomination form here. All completed nomination forms, including signature and two references, must be received no later than 4:00pm on August 29, 2008.

The 2008 recipient will be recognized at the AIDS Walk for Life Calgary on Sunday September 21, 2008.
