Grande Prairie Volunteer awards close at the end of the week

Time is running out to make nominations for this year’s Grande Prairie Regional Association of Volunteer Organizations Volunteer of the Year Awards.

Residents can nominate those who they believe make the community better for several awards, including the Corporate Volunteer of the Year, Volunteer of the Year and the Leaders of Tomorrow Awards for youth ages 13-15 or 16-18.

According to the Grande Prairie Regional Association of Volunteers, those nominated could have significantly impacted a single project or a volunteer’s continuous, long-term dedication to an organization; Friday, October 20th is the deadline for nomination submissions.

Nominations for a pair of City of Grande Prairie Awards will close on Monday, October 16th; the awards include the George Repka Outstanding Achievement Award and the Bill Bowes Volunteer Organization of the Year Award.

The Awards will be handed out on December 5th during the Annual International Volunteer Day Celebration Breakfast.
