The County of Grande Prairie is encouraging residents to get their nominations in for the third annual “It Takes a Volunteer” campaign as the nomination period will come to a close on March 3rd.
The county explains that the program aims to shine a light on the individuals, groups, and organizations that make an impact on their community through volunteerism.
Since it was introduced in 2023, the campaign has recognized 19 organizations, and 24 individuals for their contributions, and the county says given last year’s influx of high schoolers who were recognized, they hope to see even more young nominees this year.
“This year, we especially encourage nominations for young volunteers stepping up to support others,” County Reeve Bob Marshall says.
Nominations can be made in two categories- Individual Volunteers, or volunteer Organizations/Groups.
Qualifying nominees will receive an It Takes a Volunteer appreciation package and will be highlighted during National Volunteer Week, from April 27th to May 3rd.
