Nominations Wanted for Council’s 2019 Volunteer and Youth Volunteer Awards

Nov 11, 2020

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Council’s Volunteer of the Year Awards for 2019 did not take place as usual in the spring, however there is still a desire to celebrate the achievements last year’s volunteers. The Township has adapted the recognition program and is now requesting nominations for both the Volunteer and Youth Volunteer Awards.

The adapted program adheres to current public health measures, and is reflective of the desire for a broader more inclusive recognition program. Many programs, events and organizations that make up the spirit of South Frontenac rely solely on the power of volunteers to operate, and Council is eager to celebrate the work that has been done.

“Volunteers play a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for all residents of South Frontenac”, says Mayor Ron Vandewal. “Council can see the dedication of our volunteers reflected in all aspects of the municipality. South Frontenac is a growing and desirable place to live, a big part of the appeal is because of the community offerings made possible by our volunteers.”

Nominations close November 23rd, the nomination form can be found on the Township website or by calling 613-376-3027 ext. 4447. This year, nominees will received a mailed package that will include tokens of appreciation. Council will also be crafting appreciation videos to be featured on the Townships website and social media accounts. Nominees must be a resident of South Frontenac, although they are not required to volunteer exclusively in South Frontenac. Previous Volunteer of the Year Award recipients are eligible.
