County hopeful younger volunteers will be nominated for 2025 “It Takes a Volunteer” campaign

The County of Grande Prairie has opened up nominations for its third edition of the annual “It Takes a Volunteer” campaign.

Each year, the program aims to shine a light on the hundreds of individuals, groups, and organizations that make a meaningful impact in their community through volunteerism.

Since its inception in 2023, the campaign has recognized 19 organizations and 24 individuals for their contributions, and the county says they hope to see even more nominations this year- especially for younger volunteers.

This year, we especially encourage nominations for young volunteers stepping up to support others,” County Reeve Bob Marshall says. “We appreciate their passion and commitment to community service, and we hope to build on this momentum by recognizing even more youth in 2025.”
