Volunteer Recognition Program Award
The next nomination deadline is April 15, 2023
This program is targeted at community volunteers who have volunteered with several initiatives over an extended period of time, and have made a meaningful impact on their community. The purpose of the program is to demonstrate the importance and value that volunteers provide in the areas of sport, culture and recreation through public recognition.
The program will feature two nomination deadline dates per year; one in April and one in September. There will be one award recipient for each nomination deadline. The award recipients will receive a grant of $1000, to be utilized in the area of that person’s volunteering efforts (within sport, culture and recreation) while following the guidelines (ex: An individual who has been volunteering on a community Arts Council receives the award and uses the grant funds for an initiative such as art classes for seniors.)
If you are interested in nominating a volunteer in your community, the nomination form and guidelines can be found below. Please read through the guidelines prior to filling out the nomination form.

Let’s celebrate volunteers by thanking them for all they do!
Congratulations Alana Melsted – VRP Award Winner for September 2022
December 5, 2022 may have been International Volunteer Day but our PCD Volunteers deserve a day of their own!
PCD slid in to celebrate Alana’s recent Prairie Central District’s Volunteer Recognition Program Award during a December 2, 2022 Wynyard Curling Club Steak Night Fundraiser. Pictured here are Dana Stefanson (Director of Leisure Services), Alana Melsted (VRP Award Winner), and PCD Community Consultant Crystal Longman at the Fundraiser.
The purpose of this award is to demonstrate the importance and value that volunteers provide in the areas of sport, culture, and recreation. It honors people who have volunteered with several initiatives over an extended period of time and have made a meaningful impact on their community.
Dana nominated Alana because she is “truly passionate about community and keeping kids and families active and engaged.”
The award comes with $1000 to put towards sport, culture and/or recreation initiatives or programming in the community. Alana and Dana are working out details to support the Wynyard Curling Club.
Thank you, Alana. You ROCK! Your volunteer efforts are right on the button.
