Ontario Volunteer Service Awards Goes Digital

*(*Awards are honoured in 5 year increments – starting at 5 years: 5, 10, 15, 20 etc. An awardee with 13 years of service will fall into the 10 year category)*

Congratulations (again!) to our 2020 recipients of the Ontario Volunteer Service Awards. With an in-person ceremony planned for last Spring (2019) – these awards were delayed – and finally celebrated last week with an online presentation. A little bureaucratic, and lacking the specialness we now all remiss of an in-person gathering, it will still good to see so many volunteers across Ontario acknowledged. (You can watch the online ceremony, here).

Please join us in congratulating our 2020 award recipients:

Mona Azadmanesh, Volunteer Recruiter (10 years)
Adam Bovoletis, Youth Council (5 years)
Akber Mohamed, Information Guide (20 years)
Susan Morrison, Gallery Guide (10 years)
Jane Smith, Prints & Drawings (5 years)
Carole Warnock, Information Guide (5 years)

This year, the Honours and Awards branch of the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries has embarked on a review of the program, and we look forward to seeing what a post-covid award program will look like.
