SURREY – A young Indo-Canadian innovator was among the winners of the inaugural Surrey Innovation Awards Dinner.
Sean Bindra was the winner in the Young Innovator Category sponsored by Port Metro Vancouver.
Recognizing that bullying is prevalent across our nation, and being a victim of bullying himself, Bindra set out on a 7 week journey to single-handedly organize a flash mob of 600 plus students to bring awareness to the issue.
The event received significant media coverage from outlets across Canada, with recognition from BC Premier Christy Clark and Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. This exposure has brought mass awareness to the issue of bullying.
The event held on Wednesday, May 21st by the Surrey Board of Trade, in partnership with Lexxon Training, brought together business people from Surrey and throughout the Lower Mainland to recognize the successes of local innovative companies and individuals.
