About

Celebrating leadership, dedication and community involvement in Oakville! The Community Spirit Awards are presented annually to individuals, organizations, businesses and community groups who have demonstrated ongoing leadership, dedication and involvement in Oakville.

Each year one local artist is commissioned to create unique, one-of-a-kind artworks. These artworks are given to award recipients, and one artwork is added to the town’s permanent collection. The commissioned artworks are individual pieces that reflect each of the award categories: Arts, Culture and Heritage; Climate Action; Good Neighbour; Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility; Inspiration; and Leadership and Innovation.

This exhibition includes artists who have made artworks for the awards over the past 5 years.

Oakville is home to many different First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. A vibrant and impressive community within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the Town of Oakville is a beautiful lakeside town with a strong heritage, preserved and celebrated by residents and visitors alike. Since the 1800s, it has become one of the most coveted areas to live and work in Ontario, with 225,000 residents calling Oakville home. The town offers all the advantages of a well-serviced urban centre with first-rate facilities and amenities while maintaining its small-town feel.
