The Gabriola Island Urgent Care Clinic has not even opened, yet has been determined award-worthy.
The Gabriola Island Health Care Foundation, society and auxiliary are among the 18 nominees for the 11th annual Islands Trust Community Stewardship Awards.
Sheila Malcolmson, Islands Trust chairwoman, said she is impressed by the work islanders are doing to adapt to changes in their communities and prepare for the future.
Winners will be announced in June at the trust’s quarterly meeting on North Pender Island.
