This prestigious award is presented annually to residents of the Lakes District who have dedicated themselves to volunteerism in their community.
The award is named for the late William Konkin, long time school principal in Burns Lake, who together with his elementary school service club, started the award in 1973.
Over the past 51 years, 36 individuals and 15 couples have been honoured for their dedication to serving the community in and around Burns Lake.
