2007 Award Winning Design

In 2007, Elves was honoured with the Mayor’s Award for Universal Design in Architecture. The award was presented to Elves for the addition to our Adult & Youth Centre. The building design was effectively equipped and functional for persons with disabilities.

This award demonstrates both our fiscal effectiveness and our great community support. The volunteers who generously contributed their time and expertise to the facility were one of the key factors to the success of this project. This is a great example of some of the many ways the community has reached out to support our organization.
