April 19th to 25th is National Volunteer Week. The Municipality of Pictou County takes this time to recognize the outstanding contribution of volunteers to the vibrancy and growth of our communities and rural lifestyle. Volunteers are special individuals who give freely of their time, talents, and enthusiasm for the benefit of others. Their efforts help to support many initiatives, services, events and programs and sustain us during times of crisis.
If you know an outstanding volunteer in your community who has contributed significantly to residents of the Municipality of the County of Pictou, we encourage you to submit a nomination form detailing their efforts.
The Municipality will select one nominee for official recognition as Volunteer of the Year, as well as a Youth Volunteer of the Year. These volunteers will be honoured at our annual Volunteer Awards Celebration in April.
Click this link for the Nomination Form. If sending by email or mail, it should be addressed to the undersigned and received on or before 4:30 p.m. on Friday, February 27, 2026.
