2022 Recipients | ||||||||
The 2022 Award recipient for the Senior Category was Jean Libbey and the 2022 Award recipient for the Group Category was the Calabogie Food Bank. At the Calabogie Canada Day Event, the recipients were presented with a Certificate of Appreciation, by Councillor Perrier, on behalf of the Township. The certificate represents the Township's appreciation of their outstanding volunteer efforts within the Township and their dedication to the community and the people within it. Their efforts are recognized and forever appreciated. They and others like them make the Township a better place. We did not receive eligible nominees for the Youth and Adult categories this year.
