Community was the theme of the day as CIBC Caribbean named its 2025 Unsung Hero award winner at a special celebratory lunch at Maria's by the Sea.
I grew up in Bellevue from very humble beginnings where I learned the value of community, helping others — and where I first learned to cook and bake.
Lucinda "Mini" Smith, the award winner, expressed her gratitude and encouraged others to help in the community.
I am honoured to receive this award. I am grateful to be the person selected. Today, I continue to live by these principles and seek out those who I can help in any way I can.
