Canada’s Volunteer Awards (CVA) Program, presented by the Government of Canada, recognizes volunteers, nonprofits, charities, social enterprises, and businesses for their contributions across the country. The Awards Program highlights the positive impacts of volunteering and showcases how volunteerism strengthens communities.
Canada’s Volunteer Award recipients will be recognized at a national ceremony. Recipients also take part in a session to share best practices in volunteering. All recipients will receive a certificate of recognition signed by the Prime Minister.
Recipients also choose a registered nonprofit in Canada to receive a grant:
- $5,000 for each regional award recipient
- $10,000 for the national award recipient
Nomination Deadline: June 17, 2026, at 23:30 EDT
