Awards and Recognition

Ontario’s medal and recognition programs celebrate the people who make our province a better place to live.

The programs acknowledge outstanding achievement in education, health care, business, science and medicine, community service, the arts, and many other fields.  Two programs specifically honour police officers and firefighters for superlative acts of courage and bravery.

Volunteer award programs recognize the contributions of volunteers of all ages from seniors to youth.

The Community Fund is the Foundation's community endowment, established in 1979 for individuals who wish to support the long-term vitality of London and Middlesex. The Fund is for anyone who wants to give a gift that will last for generations. 

The Ontario Volunteer Service Awards recognize individual volunteers for continuous years of commitment and dedicated service to an organization.
