Volunteer Recognition

The Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula's Annual Volunteer Recognition Day is a time to recognize the voluntary achievements and contributions made in the community. Individuals and Organizations can recognize a member, executive, team, team player, coach, parent, group, or supporter who deserves an expression of your appreciation. 

An Annual Volunteer Recognition Day is held in April, where each group is allowed a few minutes at the ceremony to make the presentation to the selected recipient(s). The Municipality presents a certificate to each recipient, however, organizations/groups are welcome to purchase gifts (plaque, flowers, etc.) which may be presented on behalf of your organization. Presentations will be followed by a social gathering and light refreshments.

The purpose of this policy is to provide a guiding framework for Council to recognize volunteers whose efforts have contributed significantly to the quality of life in the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula. This policy relates to individuals that are residents of the Municipality, owners of a business in the municipality or attend school in the municipality acting in a volunteer capacity that provide programs and services to the residents of the Municipality to help enrich their quality of life.

To nominate a volunteer, individuals/organizations are invited to submit a form including information about the volunteer's achievement, type of involvement and level of impact on the community.
