Nominations open for 2024 Warden’s Community Service Awards

The County of Renfrew is now accepting nominations for the 2024 Warden's Community Service Awards. The nomination deadline is November 1 and the awards will be presented at County Council on November 27.

RELEASE DATE:

October 4, 2024

Nominate an individual, not-for-profit organization or business from Renfrew County 

The County of Renfrew is once again calling on residents to recognize community contributions of friends, colleagues and businesses as we are now accepting nominations for the annual Warden’s Community Services Awards.

These awards are a meaningful way to honour and thank individuals, not-for-profit organizations and for-profit businesses for their community involvement and commitment.

Individuals in our community 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 organizations, coaching and managing sports clubs and teams and celebrating our culture and heritage. Nominate an outstanding individual from our community.

Not-for-profit organizations in Renfrew County contribute to and assist community members facing a wide range of challenges, and often these organizations offer services and support to those most in need. Do you know a not-for-profit that is a community champion? Nominate them for this year’s award.

For-profit businesses are significant contributors to community well-being. Many for-profit-businesses sponsor sports teams and youth groups, support charity events, or contribute to local arts and culture. This is your opportunity to have these valuable corporate citizens recognized and acknowledged for their good deeds. You can nominate a local for-profit business that makes a difference in Renfrew County. 

“This is an opportunity to celebrate the heart of our community by nominating those who make a difference!” said Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon. “Whether it’s an inspiring individual, a dedicated not-for-profit, or a standout business, your nominations for the Warden’s Community Service Awards help shine a light on their incredible contributions. Let’s honour those who uplift and enrich our community. We look forward to highlighting the efforts of Renfrew County residents again this year.” 

Once the nominations are received, they will be reviewed by a committee comprised of the Warden Emon, the Director of Development and Property and one member of County Council. All nominees are considered based on the criteria as to how they contribute to the County of Renfrew’s quality of life.
