They are all helping to build strong and vibrant communities across our province.” The Corporate Volunteer Awards of Excellence were established by the Alberta government to honour and recognize the contributions of private sector corporations, businesses and their employees. The awards are presented each year to the most outstanding businesses that provide funding to worthy causes and encourage their employees to volunteer in their communities.
