QCC Honours Awards for Community Service

Do you know a QCC member who's made an outstanding volunteer contribution to his or her community?

Well here's a chance to honour them. The Quarter Century Club (QCC) is always looking for nominations for club members and associates, both active and retired, who have made outstanding volunteer contributions to their local communities.

Anyone can nominate a club member or associate member for a Quarter Century Club Community Service Award. The yearly awards will be given to QCC members or associates who have five or more years of continuous volunteer service in the following areas:

1. Local community group, voluntary service organization or public sector institution (e.g. local hospital, school, seniors residence, youth residence etc.)
2. Cultural, recreational, social and educational activities at the local, provincial and national level which strengthen community life and/or enhance community participation.
3. Improved service within the public sector, provincially or nationally. International volunteer service, while not the main focus, will also be given recognition.

In addition, one individual who has demonstrated outstanding and continuous volunteer service for 20 or more years in any one, or a combination of volunteer areas, identified above; or has made a contribution of extraordinary significance to the people of Ontario, will be selected for a lifetime volunteer award.

Each recipient will receive a unique glass sculpture in addition to a $1,000 or $2,000 cash award, which can be contributed in the recipient's name to a recognized charitable organization or toward the expenses of a student enrolled in a post-secondary school in Canada. A QCC member or associate can receive an award only once in their lifetime. A QCC member or associate can receive the Lifetime award only once.
