Volunteers are Very Important to the City of Elliot Lake
Since 1971, the City of Elliot Lake Mayor and Council have recognized volunteers in the community.
These residents have improved the quality of life in the community by freely contributing their time, skill and energy.

- The types of civic-minded activities this person does, for which organization or church, and for how many years.

- The reasons the nominator believes the nominee is involved and what benefit does the nominee receive.
- The value of the nominee's activities to the community organization or church.
