The SPARC Caring Adult Awards recognize people in the community who build assets in local young people. The successful event brought these honoured nominees together and each was presented with a letter from Mayor Ken Johnston and a plant in a hand-designed pot. The pots were made by SPARC Paint the Town Positive youth, which is a youth chapter of SPARC. The youth included positive messaged on the pots thanking nominees for "helping kids grow up great".
