Subject:1998 Annual Recreation Recognition Night
Purpose:
Each year the members of the Scarborough Community Council and the Parks & Recreation Division, acknowledge the
significant contributions of our many volunteers by hosting the Annual Recreation Recognition Night.
Funding:
Funding for the 43rd Annual Recognition Night has been included as part of the 1999 current budget in the amount of
$17,000.
Recommendations:
1. That the 43rd Annual Recognition Night be held on Friday May 28, 1998 at Malvern Community Recreation1./ Centre;
and
2.That staff be authorized to proceed with the necessary arrangements to facilitate this annual event.
Background:
The Malvern Community Recreation Centre has been reserved for Friday May 28, 1999. In the past, approximately 24
Citations were presented, selected from nominations received from affiliated groups, staff and Members of Council. The
number of Citations awarded in each of the 3 categories listed below, would be dependant on the quality of nominations
received.
1.Individual and Group of the Year
- honouring an individual and a group who have provided outstanding volunteer service in Recreation, Parks & Culture in
the Scarborough Community Council area.
2. Special Awards (2)
- recognizing individuals or groups who have reached a milestone anniversary (30 years or more) or who have performed
an exemplary voluntary service (special event/project).
3. Recreation Citations (20-24)
-honouring individuals who, as volunteers are giving or have given outstanding service to Recreation and/or Parks or
Culture in the Scarborough Community Council area.
It is proposed that volunteer recognition in the year 2000 be a combined event in the East District, for both the former East
York and Scarborough.
