Volunteer Recognition Awards

Each year, during National Volunteer Week, Vaughan joins communities across Canada to recognize extraordinary individuals who offer their time, energy and talents to inspire hope for a brighter future. The City of Vaughan is encouraging local not-for-profits and community groups to show their appreciation this year by nominating their most outstanding volunteer of 2025 for the City’s 2026 Volunteer Recognition Awards.

We have a long and proud history of volunteerism in Vaughan. We are blessed to have residents who selflessly offer their time and energy to help others. These individuals are helping to make a lasting and positive impact on our city.

A special ceremony will take place on Wednesday, Apr. 22, 2026 at 7 p.m. at Vaughan City Hall to acknowledge the 2026 award winners.
