    Volunteer Recognition Awards Now Accepting Nominations

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    The Town of The Blue Mountains is pleased to announce that the nomination period for the Volunteer Recognition Awards is now open. The nomination period will be open from February 24, 2025, to March 14, 2025.

    Launched in 2022, the Town’s annual Volunteer Recognition Awards event celebrates the outstanding residents and organizations that make The Blue Mountains a welcoming and vibrant community. This year’s awards ceremony will be held at the Beaver Valley Community Centre on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, beginning at 5:00 p.m. as part of National Volunteer Recognition Week.

    “Volunteers are the backbone of our community, and the hours they contribute are vital to making The Blue Mountains such a great place to live,” said Mayor Andrea Matrosovs “Though I know none of the volunteers do it for the recognition, their contributions deserve praise, and this is our chance to show appreciation.”

    The Volunteer Recognition Awards will feature six categories that aim to recognize individual volunteers and community groups for their contribution to the local community:

    • Arts & Culture Award
    • Blue Mountains Community Builder Award (Youth under 26 and Adults 26+)
    • Heritage Award
    • Outstanding Community Group Award
    • Sports and Recreation Award
    • Sustainability Award

    To nominate an individual or group for their dedication to the community, please complete the online nomination form by visiting the Volunteer Recognition Awards webpage.

    In addition to the Awards Ceremony, the Town will host a Volunteer Fair from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., where local community groups can meet with the public and discuss local volunteer opportunities. An application form is available for interested groups.

    To register your community group for the volunteer fair or for more information regarding the Volunteer Recognition Awards, please contact:

    Community Services Department
