“Volunteers are the heartbeat of our community, and their contributions are invaluable. The Community Recognition Awards provide a platform to acknowledge and celebrate their tireless efforts,” he said in a media release
CN Railway sponsors the awards. Daniel Salvatore, manager of public affairs for Ontario and Atlantic Canada echoed Cannif’s sentiment.
“As a company deeply rooted in the communities we serve, CN Railway is proud to support the Community Recognition Awards and recognize the outstanding contributions of our local volunteers,” he said.
The awards ceremony is to be live streamed on April 24.
