Ontario Volunteer Service Awards

​Yearly, IODE Ontario have acknowledged Provincial Councillors for their outstanding contribution, dedication and continual support to the Provincial Chapter with an Ontario Volunteer Service Award.
The Ontario Government has medal and recognition programs that honour individuals who make our province a better place to live.  The Ontario Volunteer Service Award recognizes by the length of time they've volunteered with one organization, ranging from five to 65 years of continuous services.
