Prime Minister's Volunteer Awards
Many volunteers - individuals, not-for-profit organizations or local businesses - make exceptional contributions to improve the well-being of Canadian families and their communities. These volunteers show us that the best solutions to the challenges that face Canadian families and communities are often developed, delivered and led locally.
The Prime Minister's Volunteer Awards were created for two main reasons: first, to recognize exceptional contributions that individual volunteers, not-for-profit organizations and local businesses make to improve the well-being of families and their communities; and second, to highlight the best practices in community leadership that these outstanding volunteers have developed.
