Each year the RDEK recognizes one outstanding volunteer in each of its six Electoral Areas through the RDEK Electoral Area Volunteer of the Year Awards program.

The nomination period has now closed for the 2019 program.

To be considered, nominees must live in one of the RDEK's six Electoral Areas and must make voluntary contributions to the community.  The volunteer of the year program runs annually and nominations are generally accepted during the month of January. This year's award recipients are expected to be announced later this spring and each will be honoured in his / her electoral area.

If you have any questions about the Volunteer of the Year Awards Program, please contact Shaun Hunt at our office at 250-489-2791 or 888-478-7335 or email communicationsdept@rdek.bc.ca

The RDEK salutes all the volunteers who contribute their time, energy, talent and heart and who make our East Kootenay communities vibrant.
