RENFREW COUNTY (Pembroke) — The annual County of Renfrew Warden’s Community Service Awards are a meaningful way to recognize and thank an Individual, a Not-for-profit business, and For-profit Business.

Individuals in our community step up in many ways to improve and strengthen the quality of life we enjoy here in the Ottawa Valley.  From participating in and organizing community events, devoting their time and energy to politics, supporting social support organizations, coaching and managing sports clubs and teams and celebrating our culture and heritage.  Nominate an outstanding individual from your community. 

For-profit Businesses, are significant contributors to community well-being.  Many for-profit-businesses sponsor sports teams and youth groups, support charity events, or contribute to the arts and culture. This is your opportunity to have these valuable corporate citizens recognized and acknowledged for their good deeds.  You can nominate a local for-profit business that makes a difference in the county.

Not-for-profit Business organizations in Renfrew County contribute to and assist community members facing a wide range of  challenges, and often these organizations offer services and support to those most in need.  Do you know a not-for-profit that is a community champion?  Nominate them for this year’s award.

County of Renfrew Warden Jennifer Murphy shared this message, “These annual awards allow us to formally recognize, honour, and promote the outstanding efforts made by Individuals and organizations to our community.   I look forward to celebrating the excellence of these organizations and individuals for their active roles in promoting social responsibility and positivity in our community.  I would encourage citizens to nominate individuals and organizations that they feel contribute selflessly to our county and its residents.”

Each year, a Selection Review Committee comprised of the County of Renfrew Warden, Chief Administrative Officer, and one member of County Council select the award recipients.  Nominees are considered in each of the three categories: Individual Person, Not-for-profit Business, and For-profit Business.  All nominees are considered on the basis of criteria as to how they contribute to the County of Renfrew’s Quality of life.
