You can submit nominations on the department’s website.

There are four categories for nominations: Elder, youth aged under 25, individual aged 25 to 54, and group.

Nominees will be assessed according to the duration and impact of their volunteer work; the “uniqueness and inclusiveness” of their contributions; their leadership role; and the challenges or barriers they are overcoming in their work.

Winners receive a certificate and $500 to donate to the organization of their choice.
