On Nov. 1, we were excited to honour the accomplishments of a celebrated local musician and a champion athlete at the City’s annual civic recognition ceremony.
This year’s Order of Abbotsford was presented to violinist Dr. Calvin Dyck and the Community Champion Achievement Award went to wrestler Jasmit Singh Phulka. Both honourees are community leaders who inspire greatness in others.
Calvin is receiving the Order of Abbotsford in recognition of his excellence in music, his contributions to cultural and community events as well as his dedication to teaching the next generation of musicians and instilling in them a love of music and culture.
Check out this video to learn more about Calvin and his impact on the community:
Jasmit’s athletic excellence as a world-class wrestler and commitment to service in Abbotsford through mentorship and philanthropy have earned him his year’s Community Champion Achievement Award.
