Six awards will be handed out: two in each category of youth, adult and senior at the Stars of Alberta Volunteer Awards gala ceremony on International Volunteer Day, December 5. Since the program began in 2000, 83 Alberta volunteers have been recognized with this honour.
“Volunteers are the backbone of Alberta communities, helping to deliver the programs and services that matter to Albertans” said Culture Minister Heather Klimchuk. “Nominating a local hero for a Stars of Alberta Volunteer Award is a special way of saying ‘thank you’ to the dedicated young person or veteran volunteer who are giving so much in building our communities and our province.”
The Stars of Alberta Volunteer Awards Program is an integral part of the Government of Alberta’s commitment to Alberta's voluntary sector. Volunteer recognition programs help set a standard for service, encourage a sustained commitment to civic participation and inspire others to make volunteering a central part of their lives.
Help honour an exceptional volunteer from your community whose generous efforts are contributing to Alberta’s vibrant quality of life and helping to build an even better Alberta.
