To qualify, nominees must be a resident of Whitby, 55 years of age or older, and volunteer their time in any aspect of the community. Nominees are judged based on volunteering at multiple organizations, as well as the type of role and length of time they have spent volunteering.

In light of COVID-19 and the continued need for physical distancing, award applications will only be accepted online this year.
