Volunteer Committed to Youth Sport and Recreation

This volunteer dedicates countless hours of their time to help oversee a local volleyball club to ensure that youth have an opportunity for physical activity, skill development and team building. In a normal year, this individual takes on a huge task and in 2020, this was an even greater commitment as we navigate the restrictions and changing regulations around team sports as a result of the pandemic. This individual has maintained a positive attitude, juggled the budget numerous times, found new locations for practices, supported online club meetings, ensured the club abides by the provincial regulations and regularly communicates these changes with every team in the club. This volunteer's dedication and commitment has ensured that youth in Whitby are still offered a safe way to stay active and practice the sport they love. Thank you for making a difference in our community and for never giving up.
