2020 – 21 Celebrating Seniors Volunteer Awards
Celebrating Seniors Volunteer Awards was initiated to recognize and honour outstanding senior volunteers in Saskatchewan. Nominees are residents (55+) of Saskatchewan, who consistently contribute to the overall quality of life in their communities through their volunteer activities.
In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic SSM has postponed the 11th Annual Celebrating Seniors Volunteer Awards Banquet to September 2021 (specific date to be determined later)
Nominations that have been received are being held for the 2021 Banquet. A deadline for nominations in 2021 will be set and advertised in 2021.
If you are thinking of nominating an older adult in your community who supports others and contributes to the community, you can start preparations now. Consider what category the person fits best. Contact the person you wish to nominate. If they are willing to be nominated you can follow the instructions in the forms to get information, letters and pictures to support your nomination.
