North Grenville Invites Residents to Shine a Spotlight on Volunteers

North Grenville, ON - The Municipality of North Grenville is calling on residents to help tell the stories of the remarkable people and groups who make this community such an incredible place to live.

Nominations are now open for the 2026 North Grenville Civic Awards, an annual celebration of the everyday champions whose dedication, generosity, and leadership strengthen our municipality in ways both big and small.

Every community has them: the neighbour who always shows up shovel in hand, the volunteer who quietly gives hundreds of hours without asking for recognition, the coach who’s at the bench before their first cup of coffee, and the group that sees a need and simply gets to work.

The Civic Awards are our chance to pause, look around, and say we see you.

“North Grenville is powered by people who care deeply about one another and about the place we call home,” said Mayor Nancy Peckford. “These awards exist because of the selfless compassion, creativity, and commitment that residents show every single day. If someone has made your life better, even in the smallest way, I encourage you to take a few minutes to nominate them. Together we can celebrate the spirit that truly defines North Grenville”.

Awards are presented in a wide range of categories, including arts and culture, agriculture, environment, health and wellness, recreation, heritage, youth and seniors support, as well as Volunteer of the Year and Citizen of the Year. Individuals of all ages, along with community groups and organizations, are eligible for nomination.

Residents are encouraged to help ensure these stories are shared and celebrated.

Full details on award categories, eligibility, and nomination forms are available here at www.northgrenville.ca/civicawards. Nominations are open from January 7 to February 26, 2026.

Let’s make sure the people who lift up North Grenville are lifted up in return.
