You don’t have to look far to recognize the excellent volunteers in our community. They could be your neighbour, friend, or even a family member. The Stittsville Volunteer Awards is your opportunity to bring the dedicated community involvement of your nominee to light for going above and beyond to make a difference in Stittsville.
The awards are hosted by Councillor Gower. Take the time to nominate an individual, a business or a group who have stood out for you. The Stittsville Volunteer Awards are an opportunity to highlight and celebrate the dedication of volunteers in our community.
Note that this year there is a new name for the Youth award, in honour of John Curry. John was always passionate about celebrating the accomplishments of youth in the pages of our community newspapers, and the awards steering committee agreed that this would be a fitting tribute to John.
There will be six categories of awards this year, including:
- The Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year
Awarded to an individual who best exemplifies community involvement and participation. - Senior of the Year
