I am once again very pleased to invite you to participate in an important Ontario tradition – the 2010 volunteer recognition programs.

The Province recognizes volunteers from all sectors through the following programs:

  • Volunteer Service Awards (VSA) - in recognition of continuous years of service with a community organization

  • June Callwood Outstanding Achievement Award (JCOAA) - awarded for superlative volunteer work undertaken by individuals, groups or businesses

  • Ontario Medal for Young Volunteers (OMYV) – presented to outstanding young volunteers between the ages of 15 and 24

Nomination forms and additional information on each program are available on the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration website at www.ontario.ca\honoursandawards. You can also contact the Ontario Honours and Awards Secretariat at 416-314-7526 or 1-877-832-8622. The nomination closing dates for each program are highlighted below.

Given the importance of volunteers and the contributions they make in building strong communities, I thank you for considering participation in these worthwhile programs.
