INVERNESS, N.S. — The Municipality of the County of Inverness is calling for residents to nominate dedicated volunteers.
Residents who give back will be celebrated during an annual volunteer appreciation dinner, taking place May 13.
Organizations and individuals are encouraged to nominate someone who has made a significant impact in the service of their community over the past year.
The early-bird deadline for nominations is Feb. 21, with nominations accepted until April 24.
Early nominees will be placed in a draw for a chance to represent Inverness County at the Provincial Volunteer Recognition Ceremony in Halifax on April 27.
“Every community across the county has seen volunteers accomplish some extraordinary work this year,” said Warden Betty Ann MacQuarrie.
"From selflessly helping others in the aftermath of hurricane Dorian, to organizing countless festivals and events that draw visitors from around the globe and everything in between, volunteers make Inverness County such a great place to live.”
Last year, 55 volunteers were recognized and the municipality hopes to celebrate more in 2020.
