A longtime volunteer in Qualicum Beach has received the town’s 2025 Above & Beyond Award.
Pat Jacobson was honoured for her dedication to environmental projects, community service, and conservation efforts.
Acting Mayor Scott Harrison praised her quiet leadership, noting she steps in to help without seeking recognition.
“She doesn’t look for recognition but simply sees what needs to be done and steps forward. Pat reminds us of what citizen leadership truly looks like: thoughtful, consistent, community-minded, and deeply rooted in a love for Qualicum Beach,” said Harrison.
Each year, the town invites the community to nominate a standout volunteer for the award.
Jacobson received hers at the Volunteer Appreciation Reception, and the plaque will be on display in Town Hall.
