Chapleau's annual "Buddy" Swanson Volunteer Recognition Award will be presented this Canada Day.
While a first attempt failed to garner any nominations, a second try brought in eleven nominees - including eight "longstanding" volunteers - and Mayor Michael Levesque says a few were honoured on Canada Day.
Mayor Levesque notes all of the nominees receive an appreciation award from Chapleau Town Council, though the recipients of the "Buddy" Swanson Award received a special trophy made by a local artist.
