According to the Community One Foundation website, the Steinert & Ferreiro Award was “launched through a bequest from the Estates of Jonathan R Steinert and Fernando Gumercindo Ferreiro in 2005, the award is Canada’s premiere recognition of leadership in the LGBTQ community. Community contribution and leadership are at the heart of the LGBTQ community with leaders often working quietly to achieve growth, understanding and change.”
