County is seeking nominations for municipal volunteer awards

County coun­cillors are once again looking for top volunteers in their seven municipalities.

The plan is to honour indi­viduals or a group from each of the municipalities in April, the month used to salute volunteers everywhere.

The county partners with the Volunteer Centre of Guelph-Wellington. It is seek­ing nominations for the fourth annual awards.

The award recognizes peo­ple who devote their volunteer time and effort to the conti­nuous development of local, nonprofit and charitable orga­nizations in Wellington County.

One recipient is chosen from each municipality.

The Volunteer Centre en­cour­ages anyone working for a nonprofit charity or munici­pality to considering nominat­ing a volunteer.

Nomination packages are available by contacting the Volunteer Centre at 1-866-693-3318 or 519-822-0912. Forms can also be obtained at www.volunteerguelphwellington.on.ca, or from the county website, www.county.welling­ton.on.ca.

All submissions must be received no later than March 31. Each nomination must have a completed nomination cover sheet (included with the pack­age) and answers to the selec­tion criteria questions. Failure to include the cover sheet will disqualify the nominee.

Nominations can be no longer than three pages, and a Microsoft Word format is preferred. Incomplete nomina­tions will be disqualified.

Nominations can be email­ed to Christine Oldfield at  coldfield@volunteer­guelphwellington.on.ca, or faxed to 519-822-1389, or delivered to the centre at 46 Cork Street East, Unit  1, Guelph Ont. N1H2W8.
