While there will not be a live event for the awards, the athletic department at UFV has come up with an alternative solution.
Starting on April 6, the UFV athletic department will be announcing one award winner per day on their several social media platforms. Not only does this online event promote social distancing, but it allows players to still be honoured. The event will end on April 15.
From March 30 to April 3, the Cascades announced the finalists for five of the seven awards. The five awards were Community Athlete of the Year, Male Rookie of the Year, Female Rookie of the Year, Male Athlete of the Year, and Female Athlete of the Year.
