We’re grateful for the volunteers who give their time and energy to make Waterloo a stronger, more connected community.
The Community Builder Awards celebrate volunteers who provide ongoing service with the City of Waterloo and affiliate programs.
Nomination forms are sent to eligible organizations in early January. The city delivers pins in March so organizations can recognize volunteers during their own events, such as board meetings or annual general meetings.
The Volunteer Salute is our public thank you to milestone recipients and the organizations that support them.
Each April, during National Volunteer Week, we publish the names of that year’s Community Builder Award recipients on this page.
We thank these community groups for nominating their volunteers:
