Watch for our announcement of the 2025 CARE Awards finalists in early August appearing in the Times Colonist and other media.
From September 1 to September 14, the finalists’ projects will be displayed at Hillside Centre and online at careawards.ca during the People’s Choice Award contest.
Voters will be entered to win a stay at Long Beach Lodge Resort, the 2002 CARE Awards Project of the Year.
Winners of the People’s Choice Award and other categories will be announced Friday, October 3 at our CARE Awards Gala at the Fairmont Empress Hotel.
The CARE Awards is the premier industry event showcasing Canada’s leaders in West Coast home design and construction.
2025 CARE Awards Finalists were judged by a panel of industry professionals using criteria such as design, energy efficiency, quality workmanship, and creative use of space.
For more than three decades, VRBA’s industry awards have been the Gold Standard for new homes, renovations, kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor living spaces.
A full colour CARE Awards magazine highlighting the winners will be distributed in the Times Colonist and online at careawards.ca.
