The federal government needs your help to celebrate the generous people in your neighborhood.
This is National Volunteer Week. More than 15,000 volunteers share their time and skills to help others across Canada -- every day.
The federal government wants to know about the benevolent hearts in your community for this year's Canada's Volunteer Awards.
There are a number of categories, including one national award and 20 regional awards.
Regional award recipients will be able to "pay it forward" by choosing a not-for-profit organization to receive a $5,000 grant.
The national award recipient will be able to donate $10,000 to a charity. All awards will be presented during a ceremony next April.
Nominations can be submitted online until June 21,2019. Click Here for more information and to make a submission.
