Congratulations Volunteer Awards Recipients!
Started in 2017, the Volunteer Awards are a way for the Town of Peace River to recognize the extraordinary contributions volunteers make to our community. Each year we ask for nominations from the community for one of our three awards. Our Community Services Advisory Board then selects the winners.
On December 3, the Town of Peace River celebrated volunteers and all they contribute to our community during the second Volunteer Awards. Each winner received a gift bag and a $500 donation was made to the charity or non-profit of their choice by the Town of Peace River.
Award Categories
Life Long Achievement Award
- A dedicated individual who has volunteered for at least 20 years, has inspired other volunteers and/or led volunteer initiatives.
Volunteer of the Year Award
- A dedicated individual who has gone above and beyond in supporting our community throughout the 2018 year and has inspired volunteers, has led volunteer groups or has made other exceptional achievements through volunteering.
Emerging Leader Award
- Recognizes youth volunteers 18 years and younger who have demonstrated leadership and helped build a stronger community throughout the 2018 year.
Selection Process
The public nominated volunteers from June 1 to October 1, 2018. From there the Community Services Advisory Board reviewed and scored each nominee individually and recipients were determined. All the nominations were extremely powerful and inspiring. The Community Services Advisory Board had a difficult time scoring each nominee. In total there were seven nominees.
