Volunteer Recognition
The Federation of Calgary Communities hosts a yearly volunteer recognition event to bring together community volunteers and celebrate their hard work and dedication. The highlight of the event is the presentation of four awards, to outstanding community volunteers, titled the Encana Community Volunteer Awards.

The Federation also attends regular community events or Annual General Meetings to present our “Toole Peet Community Hero Awards”. These awards are volunteer recognition certificates that honour individuals or groups who have made outstanding contributions to their community. Awards applications are ongoing, and can be presented year-round.
