District of Hope Recognized for Workplace Safety

The District of Hope has received the 2026 Organizational Safety Excellence Award from the BC Municipal Safety Association (BCMSA). The award was presented at the October 6 awards reception in Penticton, during the October 5–7 BCMSA/Public Works Association of BC Joint Conference.

The award recognizes local governments for improving workplace safety and their WorkSafeBC experience ratings. This recognition builds on the District’s 2025 Organizational Safety Excellence Award and Occupational Health & Safety Advisor Mark Howard’s 2025 Occupational Health & Safety Employee of the Year Award.

Congratulations to Mark and District staff for their continued commitment to a safe and healthy workplace!
