Ted Falk, Member of Parliament for Provencher, recently hosted a ceremony to recognize the tremendous impact that volunteers make in our communities.

Award recipients

Top 10 Provencher Volunteer Service Award recipients with MP Ted Falk.

MP Falk presented 10 community leaders from across the riding of Provencher with the Provencher Volunteer Service Award.

The process:

Earlier this year, MP Falk asked community members from across Provencher to submit the names of people who have faithfully served their communities by volunteering their time and energy to community service. Almost 100 names were submitted and all of them were excellent candidates.

The bios that were submitted for each person were then sent to a committee made up of six former Queens Diamond Jubilee Award winners. As Diamond jubilee winners, these are people who know what it means to give back to their community.

Each submission was scored by the committee members individually, and the scores were then pooled together to come up with the top 10.

Those top 10 were recognized tonight and were presented with the Provencher Volunteer Service Medallion and a certificate of recognition.
