MNO: 2021 Volunteer of the Year Award
Press Release
Every year since 2006, the Suzanne Rochon-Burnett Volunteer of the Year Award has been presented to a Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) citizen who has made ongoing contributions to their community and the MNO as a whole.
The 2020 Volunteer of the Year Award was unprecedented, as it was given to all the MNO Community Councils in recognition of their incredible efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. MNO Community Council members truly went above and beyond to reach out to their communities in the very difficult conditions presented by the pandemic.
This year’s Volunteer of the Year Award will be presented at the virtual MNO Annual General Assembly planned for September 18-19, 2021. If you know of a dedicated MNO citizen who deserves to be considered for the award please read the information below and complete the nomination form.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the Suzanne Rochon-Burnett Volunteer of the Year Award is to recognize individuals who contribute as a volunteer to the MNO year-round and have done so for a number of years. Each year a volunteer meeting the criteria is named as the recipient of the Suzanne-Rochon Volunteer of the Year by a selection committee.
