Call for nominations: Starfish Award

A young boy was seen tossing stranded starfish from the beach back into the water and was asked why he was making an effort when there are countless stranded starfish. Tossing another back into the water, the boy said, “I just made a difference for that one!” and continued on.

OPSEU/SEFPO’s Community Services Division has been making a difference together in the lives of people all around Ontario through daily actions both big and small. To celebrate individual achievements from members that make a difference through work, and or labour and community activism in each of the CSD sectors, the Starfish Award was established and is presented at each BPS conference.
