Activities
Volunteers and local non-profit organizations are a valuable piece of our community. Volunteers organize community events, put on community breakfast and suppers, coach sports teams, visit the elderly, and help those in need. In the Municipality of Chester, we have a long list of community groups and an even longer list of hard working volunteers that give freely of their time to benefit the community. We believe in celebrating the great work done by our local volunteers. Every day volunteers give of their time and energy to the community, and it is these volunteer efforts that make our communities strong and vibrant.

The Municipality of Chester is planning for National Volunteer Week, April 27 to May 3, 2025. April seems like a long way off, but we want you to start thinking about ways to celebrate volunteers.
Nominate A Volunteer!
One thing you can do is nominate a volunteer who will be recognized at our Municipal Volunteer Ceremony which will be held during Volunteer Week. The person you nominate might be someone who really stepped up and helped with an event recently, it might be a youth who volunteers, or it could be a new volunteer. From all the volunteers that are nominated, one volunteer will be selected to represent the Municipality of Chester at the provincial volunteer awards.
The deadline to get your nomination in is Friday, March 7, 2025. Under helpful links is a nomination form for you to fill out. Feel free to nominate any deserving volunteer, even if they are not in your group.
We also have a special category for businesses or a family that are outstanding volunteers and contributors to the community. If you know of a business/family, we will accept nominations for them as well.
