Campbell’s Bay, September 14, 2021 – The MRC Pontiac, in partnership with its municipalities, held an event last night to recognize the commitment of volunteers in their community. This was an opportunity to recognize the work done by volunteers in the municipalities who tirelessly contribute to the well-being of our communities.
The ceremony was held at the Lion’s Hall in Bryson with the Warden and the Mayors presenting a Volunteer Award to the nominees from each municipality. The nominations and selections were made by each municipality. As last year’s event was delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions, this year’s event provided an opportunity to nominate candidates for 2020 and 2021.
The MRC Pontiac Volunteer Awards are a unique and privileged opportunity to thank these exceptional people.
