Vaughan's Spotlight on Volunteers

In celebration of National Volunteer Week, the Mayor and Members of Council recognized 73 outstanding individuals at a special ceremony in Council Chambers on April 21.

“Vaughan has a variety of organizations that contribute to our vibrant and healthy community,” said Mayor Linda Jackson. “Volunteers are the backbone of any great community and the City is proud to honour the outstanding achievements of these amazing people.”


Earlier this year, City of Vaughan not-for-profit and community organizations were invited to nominate their Most Outstanding Volunteer of 2009. More than 70 nominations were received for this year’s awards program. The event also featured musical entertainment by Jeff Taylor and the Senior Leadership Team band and light refreshments.

“All community volunteers deserve recognition and our gratitude for their selfless efforts,” said City Manager Clayton Harris. “This event has special meaning in that many of the award recipients were nominated by their peers and fellow volunteers.”

More than 150 friends and family of the recipients attended the special event where Mayor Jackson presented each recipient with a Volunteer Recognition Certificate and pin.
