The RHRA’s 2024 Resident Champion Award: Nominate a Resident Today!

May 23, 2024

Do you know a senior who lives in a licenced retirement home and goes above and beyond to make a difference for their fellow residents and community? The RHRA encourages you to celebrate this special senior in your life and nominate them for the Frank Kajfes Resident Champion Award.

The RHRA’s Frank Kajfes Resident Champion Award recognizes a licenced retirement home resident who has made a noticeable impact on the quality of life for fellow residents and for members of their community.

We encourage family, friends and retirement home staff to nominate a resident for the award to recognize their remarkable contributions.

If this sounds like a retirement home resident that you know, submit your Resident Champion Award nomination here by July 31, 2024.

You can meet the 2023 Resident Champion finalists and learn more about the award and Frank Kajfes, whom the Resident Champion award is named after, on our website.

The recipient of the 2024 Frank Kajfes Resident Champion Award, along with all finalists, will be recognized at the RHRA’s virtual Annual General Meeting and Recognition Event on September 19, 2024. If you have any questions about the Resident Champion Award, or would like to submit a nomination by email, contact us at communications@rhra.ca.
