Nominations are now open for the 2025 VOscars Volunteer Awards! Each year, Volunteer Ottawa gives you a chance to pay tribute to people and organizations making a difference in our community. Give the gift of recognition by submitting a nomination in one of 7 award categories by May 30, 2025. And please share the submission with your nominee to let them know how much their generosity is noticed and appreciated. It’s a very special way to say, “Thank You” and celebrate the difference they make in the lives of others.
