Kara-Tunga Fund fonder – Pat Montani – awarded Whistler Citizen of the Year.
The Whistler Excellence Awards are produced annually by the Whistler Chamber of Commerce. Nominations for the 2020 award are already open, at whistlerchamber.com.
Montani, who launched Bicycles for Humanity with his wife Brenda, and Reynolds, founder of Playground Builders, both provide a sense of hope to populations that need them most, and both have seen their impact spread worldwide.
Bicycles for Humanity now counts 15 chapters worldwide and has collected and transported more than 180,000 bikes to the developing world, while Playground Builders has constructed 240 playgrounds in war-torn countries across the Middle East.
From 8-10 December 2017, we had a blast with an exchange visit of multidisciplinary Ugandan artists meeting Karimojong artists organised by Native Travel Festival and supported by Stichting DOEN.
In 2017 ‘Patrick Montani’ (Director of Kara-Tunga Fund) and his wife Brenda Montani were awarded Canada’s highest honour for their contribution to humanity, the Meritorious Service Medal.
