The Victoria Residential Builders Association has announced the Finalists for the 2024 CARE Awards and you can vote for the popular Peoples’ Choice Award.

From September 2 to September 15, view these outstanding homes at careawards.ca and vote for your favourite. In addition, the projects will be on display at Hillside Centre. 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 the other categories will be announced Friday, September 27 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.

CARE Awards Finalists were judged by a panel of industry professionals using criteria such as design, energy efficiency, quality of workmanship, and creative use of space.

For more than three decades, VRBA’s industry event has 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.
