Celebrating our Volunteers 

Each year at the Canada Day celebrations on July 1st, the Sport, Culture and Recreation Board presents annual Adult and Student Volunteer Awards to deserving residents in our community.  

Adult Volunteer Award:  This award is presented to individuals who have been outstanding in their community involvement and service such as volunteering on boards, community groups or at special community events.

Student Volunteer Award: This monetary award is presented to a Grade 12 student who is a Candle Lake resident, and who shows a strong commitment to the community and its residents.  Please complete the Student Volunteer Award Application to be considered for this award.
