Celebrating the volunteers that help our community prosper.

That's the goal behind the Portage la Prairie and District Chamber of Commerce's Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon.

Executive Director Cindy McDonald says the deadline to nominate someone is March 15th.

"Our Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon is April 11th. We're really excited about this event," says McDonald. "We love our volunteers, and a lot of these organizations in our community would not exist if it wasn't for volunteers."

She says there are four awards they will be giving away.

"We're giving out the Citizen of the Year, Sportsperson of the Year, Arts person of the Year and the Youth Volunteer of the Year," says McDonald. "If you know anybody that dedicates their time to their community and to any organization, it could be a group or it could be an individual. Please, nominate them!"

You can get a nomination form from their website at PortageChamber.com.
