Congratulations to our Volunteers!
The Village of Port Williams believes that volunteers are an integral and significant part of rural life in our Village. Our Volunteer Award Program was initiated in 1995 by the Village Commission in memory of the late Harold B. Legge who served the Village as a Commissioner so faithfully for more than sixteen years. In 2009 our Program became associated with the Provincial Volunteer Award Program which is sponsored by Recreation Nova Scotia.
Looking at the 2012 nominations is a wonderful example of how the volunteers in our community have made a difference, provided leadership and made incredible role models in our Village. All of the Volunteers nominated will be formally recognized at the Village's Annual Meeting in June; however, only one of the Volunteers nominated will represent the Village at the 38th Annual Provincial Awards Ceremony hosted by the Province of Nova Scotia at the Westin Hotel in Halifax on April 2nd, 2012.
Congratulations to Harold Benedict , nominated by the Recreation Committee and supported by the Port Williams Women's Institute, who has been chosen as this year's Representative Volunteer. He will be honored at the Provincial Volunteer Awards Ceremony in Halifax and he will also receive the Harold B. Legge Volunteer of the Year Award in June. Wayne Blenkhorn, Chairperson of the Recreation Committee, will accompany Harold at the Provincial Awards Ceremony.
We would like to express our appreciation to the volunteers who were nominated and welcome everyone to join us at the Village's Annual Meeting where we will be formally recognizing Harold Benedict and the following volunteers:
. George Forsyth nominated by the Cornwallis Project 4H Club
. Dr. Michael Shaffelburg nominated by Drs. Stephen & Christine Friars
. Kendall Hutchinson nominated by the Port Williams and District Lions Club
Thank you for your time and talent in making our community a better place!
