Naomi Singer - British Columbia Community Achievement Award Winner

Naomi Singer (89) recently won a British Columbia Community Achievement Award. The awards recognize and celebrate the spirit, imagination, dedication and contribution of British Columbians to their communities. Naomi has contributed her knowledge, skills and enthusiasm towards the enrichment and cultivation of community-based celebrations and public events. The most significant of these is the Winter Solstice Lantern Festival which is now in its fourteenth year and which attracts 12,000 community participants in five different Vancouver neighbourhoods. The creative talents of hundreds of multi cultural performers, artists and musicians, are all coordinated by Naomi. Her gifts and abilities reach people from all walks of life in spaces between buildings, streets and in other urban environments.
