Volunteer Awards

2020 Volunteer Award Nominations

Nominations for the 2020 Volunteer Awards have now closed. Please check back in late April for a list of those selected to receive an award. 

National Volunteer Week takes place April 17 – 25, 2020. According to Volunteer Canada research, here are the top two ways the amazing volunteers like to be recognized:

1. Volunteers would like to be recognized or thanked by the organization they volunteer for by hearing about how their work has made a difference.

2. Volunteers would like to be recognized by being thanked in person or on an ongoing, informal basis.
