Inukshuk Award 2004

This award is presented to the Petrolia Community Theatre for their presentation of “A Christmas Carol” in December 2004. It was a marvelous and moving presentation and represents a notable contribution to our community for 2004. As good theatre, it was enjoyable – while also conveying a most important universal message about human values. It is in appreciation for your tremendous effort in producing it that we are pleased to now recognize you for this contribution.

True contribution includes a number of elements. They include: a spirit of generosity, consideration and tolerance for others, sincerity, solidarity and hope. Contribution is about something bigger than just yourself. So we present to you… the Inukshuk Award for 2004.
