“Volunteers play an important role in our community by supporting local programs, events, organizations, and clubs,” said Lambton Shores Mayor Doug Cook. “Their contributions help build a more connected, vibrant, and resilient community and we want to help celebrate them with this year’s volunteer awards.”

The annual volunteer appreciation awards recognize outstanding individuals and community groups whose volunteer efforts have made a meaningful impact in Lambton Shores. Award categories include:

“We encourage residents to take a moment to nominate someone who goes above and beyond to make Lambton Shores a better place,” continued Mayor Cook. “We have so many incredible volunteers and community groups that are dedicated to improving the community and we hope you can help us recognize them with your nominations.”

Recipients will be honoured later this year at the Municipality’s annual Volunteer Recognition event.
