Tune in to watch the Volunteer Recognition Awards on
Wednesday, April 21 at 7 p.m.
The City of Vaughan’s Volunteer Recognition Awards is an
annual event that honours the outstanding contributions of local volunteers.
This year, due to COVID-19, the ceremony will be held virtually on Wednesday,
April 21 at 7 p.m. at vaughan.ca/VolunteerAwards.
Not-for-profit organizations and community
groups in Vaughan were encouraged to nominate one outstanding volunteer from 2020
whose passion and actions have made a positive impact in the community. This
year, 61 recipients will be recognized, and each received, via mail, a
volunteer recognition certificate, congratulatory letter and lapel pin from
Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua.
Awards will be presented to youth aged 13 to 24
years old and adults over the age of 25 whose dedication to assisting others
has been exceptional. Volunteers are 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.
National Volunteer Week takes place each year
in April. It pays tribute to the millions of Canadian volunteers who dedicate
their time and energy to making a difference in their local community.
