Sports Excellence Award
The Sports Excellence Award was a contribution directed toward organizations in selected communities where EPCOR operates to assist in the development of sports excellence. Award recipients were organizations offering programs in athletic development for any summer or winter Olympic sport.
Please note that 2009 was the final year for the EPCOR Sports Excellence Award. The award, which was available each year since 2006, was developed in conjunction with EPCOR’s sponsorship of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games to encourage young athletes and artists in their pursuit of excellence.
