Each year the Town of Riverview recognizes outstanding contributions by Riverview residents throughout the preceding year. Awards are presented at the Recognizing Riverview awards night, where the following awards are presented: Riverview Business Awards, Volunteer Recognition Awards, Youth Appreciation Awards, Jim DeWolfe Community Spirit Award, and Sports Wall of Fame Class of 2025 inductee reveal.
Volunteer Recognition Awards
Organizations such as schools, churches, sports groups, service clubs and committees have the opportunity to nominate one volunteer who has gone above and beyond in their dedication throughout the past year. Each nominee will be invited to the awards night where they will receive a certificate of appreciation. Nominations will be entered under one of five categories. A selection committee will review submissions and one deserving volunteer will be selected as volunteer of the year in each category.
Selection Criteria: Each group or organization may nominate one volunteer that has demonstrated exceptional commitment and dedication over this past year. The recipient should be a Riverview resident, but volunteers from outside the Town can be considered if their efforts directly enhance the quality of life in Riverview. Each organization must complete an online nomination form for their volunteer award selection. Submission forms must include the name, mailing address, email address and telephone number for the nominated volunteer, along with a description of the specific contributions that the individual has made to your group or organization, including years active with the organization and specific role or roles held within the organization. The description provided will assist the committee to determine the volunteer of the year in each of the five categories.
YOUTH APPRECIATION AWARDS
Over the past two decades, the Optimiste Club Moncton-Dieppe have partnered with the Town of Riverview to celebrate the achievements of Riverview youth. Community leaders are encouraged to nominate Grade 12 Riverview students who excel in one of the following four categories: Arts and Culture, Sports and Athletics, Academics and Community Service. A selection committee will review the nominations, and two deserving students will be selected in each of the four categories, for a total of eight award recipients in total. The award winners will be contacted and invited to the Recognizing Riverview event, where they will receive a cash award from the Optimiste Club Moncton-Dieppe, as well as a certificate of appreciation.
