The annual Cook Community Awards provides the opportunity for people to be recognised for their contribution and selfless service in the community. Volunteers actively involved in community groups, those who are working to better the environment in which we live or those who are simply “giving back” in our Cook community can be nominated for a Cook Award. I invite members of organisations within our local community to nominate people you know who are selflessly helping those less fortunate or who are contributing to the great place in which we live.
Awards are presented at a special community ceremony each December, followed by a morning tea. The most outstanding applicant will receive the Cook Community Medal.
Congratulations to all of our 2023 Cook Community Award Winners.
