Recognition for Change

The Quality of Life CHALLENGE has contributed to change. Change happens because individuals and organizations are encouraged to do more when their efforts are acknowledged and recognized.

The CHALLENGE recognizes individuals and organizations with decals, awards and through our recognition program for partners and supporters.

Decals

Decals are awarded to people and groups who have taken up the CHALLENGE to improve housing, community connections or sustainable incomes. Since 2001, 2087 Quality of Life CHALLENGE decals have been distributed. For example

• Vintage Hot Tubs, a local business, received a decal for its exemplary human resource practices. They referred to the CHALLENGE decal in their full page newspaper ad.
• The Values Based Business Network's decal is part of its display at public events.
• The City of Langford proudly displays the CHALLENGE decal on the door to the municipal hall. Councillors were recognized for their Affordable Housing program, which requires 10% of single family homes in large subdivisions to be sold more affordably. Three houses have been built and four more have been approved. More than 30 houses are in the works, and the program will continue to generate homes.

Leadership Partners and Supporters

Leadership Partners and Supporters of the Quality of Life CHALLENGE play an important role in leading the organization. They are recognized for their generous cash and in-kind contributions on our website, in printed materials, and at community events.
