Volunteer Awards
Started in 2017, the Volunteer Awards are a way for the Town of Peace River to recognize the extraordinary contributions volunteers make to our community. Each year we ask for nominations from the community for one of our four awards. Our Community Services Advisory Board then selects the winners.
Winners receive a prize pack and a $500 donation to the community non-profit of their choice.
We are accepting nominations for the following awards:
Life-Long Achievement Award
- A dedicated individual who has volunteered for at least 20 years, has inspired other volunteers and/or led volunteer initiatives.
Volunteer of the Year Award

Community Recognition Award
