October 22nd was a special day, as Brooksdale staff members represented A Rocha at Surrey’s 2014 City Awards Reception. The Brooksdale Environmental Centre received the Green City Award, which “recognizes environmental leaders who take action and inspire.” We were also happy to see our partners, Oak Avenue Neighborhood Hub Society and Umoja Operation Compassion Society receive the Heart in the City awards.
