The County of Grande Prairie is accepting nominations for its annual volunteer recognition program.

The It Takes a Volunteer program highlights the people and organizations who give back to their community by showcasing them during National Volunteer Week in April.

The nominees will be added to the County’s Volunteer Wall of Fame and selected ones will receive a professionally produced video highlighting their work.

Since launching in 2023 the It Takes a Volunteer program has recognized 23 organizations and 33 individuals for their contributions.

“Volunteers are central to our communities. Their work supports neighbours, strengthens services, and shows what is possible when people step forward to help,” says Reeve Amanda McDonald. “The ‘It Takes a Volunteer’ program is one way the County helps elevate their contributions and empower the organizations they serve, while recognizing the value they bring to our region.”

Nominations for the It Takes a Volunteer program are open until March 2.
