The award was named after Jim MacKinnon, a former business manager for Local 1059, it establishes in the spirit of Jim's enduring legacy, enthusiasm, and activism. The Jim MacKinnon Community Builder Award honours activists in the community who likewise exhibit these qualities and who provide opportunity and hope for everyone whose life they have a positive impact on.
Allan continues to invest in his community and is literally - a community builder. He also acknowledges the value and excellence of unionised work.
