RDEK seeks Volunteers of the Year nominations
The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) is currently seeking nominations for the 2026 Electoral Area Volunteers of the Year.
“Volunteers are the heart of our communities, and they are all around us. Is someone close to you making a positive change for those around them? These are the individuals or couples that the RDEK wants to celebrate,” said RDEK Board Chair Rob Gay.
“Please take a moment and nominate a volunteer who lives in your electoral area, as honouring the people who make a difference in our region is so important.”
Nomination forms are now available and, as it has in past years, the regional district will be honouring one outstanding volunteer or couple from each of its six Electoral Areas.
Nominees must be residents of an Electoral Area (outside of incorporated municipalities) and make voluntary contributions to the spirit, culture or people of the community.
Nomination forms can be filled out on engage.rdek.bc.ca/volunteer and can also be picked up at the Cranbrook and Columbia Valley RDEK offices.
The deadline for nominations is 12 p.m. on February 2.
