The city of Port Coquitlam plans to honour its top volunteers and is looking for a little help from its citizens.
Nominations are being accepted for PoCo's 2011 volunteer recognition awards.
PoCo volunteers of all ages who have not previously received an award from the city are eligible for the awards.
Do you know a volunteer who dedicates time and energy to help make Port Coquitlam a healthy, vibrant and caring community and works tirelessly behind the scenes and deserves to be recognized?
Awards categories are:
arts, heritage and cultural awareness;
caring and safety;
environmental protection and enhancement;
sports and recreation;
youth programs;
and U21.
Eligible award nominees will be invited to attend the gala awards ceremony April 12 with a guest and will receive a certificate of appreciation and a commemorative civic lapel pin. Winners will receive a personalized etched glass award and recipients will also have their names added to the honour roll at city hall.
Nomination deadline is March 11 and nomination forms are available on the city's website (www.portcoquitlam.ca/volunteer) and can be submitted online; or they can be picked up at:
city hall (2580 Shaughnessy St.);
PoCo rec complex (2150 Wilson Ave.);
Hyde Creek rec centre (1379 Laurier Ave.);
Terry Fox Library (2470 Mary Hill Rd.);
or by calling 604-927-5410.
