About the Award
Recognizing that the Grande Prairie region is highly transient but also that a person can make a significant difference in a short period of time, the Grande Prairie Volunteer Services Bureau launched the Volunteer of the Year Award in 2009. The award honours an extraordinary resident of the Grande Prairie region whose volunteer contributions in the last twelve months have made a considerable impact within the community.

- Overall community benefit
The award recipient will be notified by telephone of the Selection Committee's decision by November 25, 2011. All decisions are final.
