Sustaining a culture of giving through Canada’s Volunteer Awards

Written by the Tamarack Institute | December 21, 2016

Over the past 150 years Canadian communities have flourished with the help of volunteers.

In fact, Canada is known for its generosity. In 2015, we ranked sixth in the World Giving Index which provides insight into the scope and nature of giving around the world.

Many people and organizations have an important role in sustaining the well-being of communities. They share a common goal with many of us: to make a difference.

Recognising such efforts is why the Canada’s Volunteer Awards are so important.

The Awards recognize the important contributions of individuals, not-for-profit organizations and businesses across the country.

If you know a volunteer, a business or a not-for-profit organization that is making a difference in your community, show your appreciation by nominating them for a Canada’s Volunteer Awards today.
