Annual Volunteer Recognition Awards handed out.
The City of St. Catharines marked National Volunteer Week with the annual Volunteer Recognition Awards.
Several awards were handed out at a small in-person event on April 13th.
Christine Cook and Enzo DeDivitiis were named co-recipients of the 2022 Mayor's Volunteer of the Year Award.
DeDivitiis was recognized for his work in the LGBTQ community, and Cook was honoured for her work with Start Me Up Niagara.
Meanwhile, ten year old Emma Sajur won the Margaret and Robin MacLennan Youth Volunteer of the Year award.
She was honoured for her efforts organizing food drives during the pandemic and coming up with ways for her peers to stay close while social distancing.
"We have an exceptional group of volunteers and good neighbours to honour this year, and I want to congratulate and thank them all for their contributions to our community," said Mayor Walter Sendzik. With the opportunity to thank them each in person, I was proud to see that compassion, empathy and inclusivity are abundant in our city."
As well, dozens of people received Volunteer and MyHoodSTC Awards from the City.
