2024 Gale-Walker Community Award Nomination Form

Applications are open February 3rd to June 3rd. The Award Ceremony will be on September 16th. 

Preston Heights Community Group (PHCG) is excited to announce the Gale-Walker Community Award for individuals demonstrating community ownership, commitment and leadership that positively impacts the Preston Heights and Preston neighbourhood.

The Gale-Walker award honors the legacy of PHCG board members and long-time residents of the Preston Neighbourhood, Michelle Walker and the late George Gale.

George and Michelle share a selfless and humble care for the community that they have both modeled as leaders; they want to see the absolute best for Preston neighbours. George’s presence was felt in the ways he cared for his community and actively worked to make it a proud place to be; grilling on the BBQ at community dinners, helping to fix items in the community centre building and humbly caring whenever anyone shared updates on their life with him. Michelle continues to build an inspiring legacy of humble, selfless and perseverant support of the community. In her 10 years of involvement on the PHCG board and community leadership outside of this role, Michelle has been a calm and perseverant presence, advocating for the Preston Heights Community Group through change and for a better outcome for the community.
