Volunteer Recognition Awards

Nominations now open!

 

Dear Friend,

 

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 2024 for the City’s 2025 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.

 

If you know of a volunteer who’s making a meaningful difference to your organization or in the community, please complete this nomination form. But don’t wait! You only have until Wednesday, April 9th to submit. For more information, please email our team at volunteerrecognition@vaughan.ca or visit vaughan.ca/VolunteerAwards.

 

A special ceremony will take place on Wednesday, Apr. 30 at 7 p.m. at Vaughan City Hall to acknowledge the 2025 award winners.

 

I look forward to celebrating our city’s most inspiring and dedicated individuals with you.

 

Sincerely, 

Steven Del Duca 
Mayor
