Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, recently announced the launch of the call for nominations for Canada’s Volunteer Awards!

This is the chance for all Canadians to nominate exceptional individuals, not for profit organizations that help find innovative solutions to social challenges, or businesses that demonstrate social responsibility in their community.

This year, 21 awards will be presented during an award ceremony in April 2020. Recipients will also have a chance to give back; regional award recipients are eligible to identify a not-for-profit organization to receive a $5,000 grant, and the national award recipient is eligible to identify a not-for-profit organization to receive a $10,000 grant.

The call for nominations is open from April 8 to June 21, 2019. Nominate an individual, a not-for-profit organization or a business today!
