Softball Ontario Volunteer Awards
Volunteer Award
Volunteers are the backbone of Softball Ontario, its programs and services. They donate countless hours and provide expertise in return for out-of-pocket expenses, and maybe ... a thank you. Making volunteers feel essential, valuable and appreciated, is important if sport associations like Softball Ontario wish to continue, because without volunteers a number, if not all, of Softball Ontario's programs would cease to operate.
A simple thank-you letter is one form of volunteer recognition, but
Softball Ontario and the Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and
Recreation have developed other ways to recognize individuals who have
made a significant contribution to the development of Softball Ontario,
its programs and/or services. The following outlines Softball Ontario's
and the Ministry's Recognition Programs.
