PEMBROKE– The annual County of Renfrew Warden’s Community Service Awards are a meaningful way for you to recognize and thank individuals and organizations who improve the lives of residents of the County of Renfrew.
We all work for or with local businesses and we know many of them are significant contributors to our communities in many ways: sponsoring sports teams and youth groups, supporting charity events, contributing to the arts and culture, assisting employees and community members facing challenges and re-investing in our communities in many other ways. This is your opportunity to have these valuable corporate citizens recognized and acknowledged for their good deeds. You can nominate for-profit and non-profit organizations.
There are also many individuals, community groups and agencies who step up in many ways to improve and strengthen the quality of life we enjoy here in the Ottawa Valley. From participating in and organizing community events, devoting their time and energy to politics, supporting social support organizations, coaching and managing sports clubs and teams and celebrating our culture and heritage.
County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon shared this message, “These awards recognize and promote the outstanding efforts by community champions in Renfrew County for their active roles with social responsibility and community contributions. I look forward to publically acknowledging the excellence of these organizations and individuals for their efforts to making Renfrew County a better place to live, work and play.”
Each year, A Selection Review Committee comprised of the County of Renfrew Warden, Chief Administrative Officer, and one member of County Council select the award recipients. Nominees are considered in each of the three categories: Individual Person, Not-for-profit Business, and For-profit Business. All nominees are considered on the basis of criteria as to how they contribute to the County of Renfrew’s quality of life.
