The NOCA Volunteer Award is an opportunity for NOCA member clubs to recognize their volunteers. Each year three (3) awards will be presented and we encourage you to nominate individuals from your curling club. The worthy recipient is one who is always willing to help out whether it be at registration, teaching juniors, doing repairs or renovations, running a league, conducting clinics, working behind the bar, doing kitchen duty at a bonspiel, or any other volunteer effort that helps make the club successful. This award is for anyone in your club; age is not a factor.
The NOCA Club Recognition Award will be awarded by the NOCA Board to a club which has demonstrated outstanding efforts to promote and develop the sport of curling in its community. This may include providing training to curlers and staff, promoting curling development, upgrading facilities, hosting events, or any other effort which enhances the profile of the club and curling in the community or region.
A number of awards and scholarships are presented each year by CurlON.
The Ontario Sport Awards are a provincial award program established in 1965 to honour and promote athletic achievement and participation in sport and fitness.
