Celebrating our volunteers
Vaughan’s Volunteer Recognition Awards honoured 77 deserving recipients for 2023
The City of Vaughan’s annual Volunteer Recognition Awards shine a spotlight on the outstanding contributions of local volunteers – including the 77 people who made a significant difference in the community last year.
Mayor Steven Del Duca and Members of Council recognized these dedicated individuals at the 2024 awards ceremony last night at Vaughan City Hall. This event aligns with National Volunteer Week, which runs from April 14 to 20, 2024, and is proclaimed annually by the City.
Earlier this year, non-profit organizations and community groups in Vaughan were encouraged to nominate one outstanding volunteer from 2023 whose passion and actions have made a distinct positive impact on the community. Each winner received a certificate and lapel pin during last night’s ceremony.
The awards are presented to volunteers 13 years of age or older whose dedication to assisting others has been exceptional. The 2023 recipients were recognized for their generous community service in donating their time and energy to important causes, contributing to the success and quality of life in the city of Vaughan and beyond.
