Volunteer Manitoba
hosted the 26th Annual Volunteer Awards Dinner
on Wednesday, April 22, 2009 during National
Volunteer Week from April 19 - 25, 2009 at the Convention
Centre in Winnipeg.
As our dinner coincided with Earth Day, we are proud to announce that, through sponsorship from Manitoba Lotteries, Volunteer Manitoba had 80 kg of organics collected from the dinner and composted. In addition, the event had Carbon Netural Event Status, where 214 trees were planted to offset the emissions associated with the event.
We would also like to thank RBC Bank of Canada for sponsoring the VIP Reception.
Guests included Special Olympics Wheelchair Rugby Player, Jared Penner, and Olympic Curler, Jill Officer. Pictured above, holding the Olympic Torch from Turin, Italy, is Michael Fahlman, Volunteer Manitoba, Board of Directors President, and Dennis Dyck, Volunteer Manitoba Executive Director.
