Volunteer of the Year Awards nominations close Friday

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.

The City of Grande Prairie Awards will also be handing out a pair of awards, including the George Repka Outstanding Achievement Award and the Bill Bowes Volunteer Organization of the Year Award.

Friday is the deadline for nomination submissions for both the GP-RAVO and city awards. All of the awards will be handed out at the Annual International Volunteer Day Celebration Breakfast on December, 5th.
