Volunteer of the Year

The City of Whitehorse values the importance of volunteers and their contributions to our community. Since 1987, it has celebrated and publicly acknowledged outstanding volunteers by providing an opportunity for residents to recognize and appreciate volunteers.

Each spring, we invite organizations to nominate an individual as a candidate for this honour. The nominee should be someone who has made a significant contribution to an organization or to the community as a whole.

The Volunteer of the Year application period has now ended. Thank you to everyone who nominated a volunteer!

The individual you nominated will be invited to the Volunteer Reception Dinner with a guest and a representative from your organization on Thursday, April 16 at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre. This will be held during National Volunteer Week to recognize all nominated volunteers who have contributed many hours to community organizations throughout Whitehorse. At the reception, one individual will be selected by City Council as the Volunteer of the Year.
