Nominate a Man of Honour
08
2011
Six years ago, the Men of Honour Awards were launched to reflect the belief that men and women must work together to overcome violence and exploitation. Each year ten men have been chosen from nominations submitted by the community for their exemplary roles in fostering respect, encouraging healthy relationships, creating positive opportunities for vulnerable people, and providing inspiration. This initiative was developed by Friends of PAAFE (Prostitution Awareness & Action Foundation of Edmonton, a caring community working to reduce the harms caused by sexual exploitation).
Men of Honour are those who act in meaningful ways to foster respect, encourage healthy relationships, and create positive opportunities for people. They strengthen their families, communities, and workplaces. Men of Honour respect the humanity of vulnerable children and adults. They may be well known, or they may be quiet workers and volunteers. Men of Honour are found in many families, ethno-cultural communities, trades, professions, neighbourhoods, networks, and organizations. Who is a Man of Honour in your life?
Deadline for nominations is March 11, 2011. I am proud to serve as the Honourary Chairperson at the awards presentation, which will take place on April 15.
