ONTARIO VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARDS
The Ontario Volunteer Service Awards honour the thousands of people who generously contribute their time
as volunteers across Ontario. These awards are an important way to recognize volunteers who have provided
service over many years.
Volunteers play a very important role in our quality of life. They help to build safe, caring and vital
communities, and donate their time to help others. In fact, Ontarians donate more than five million hours of
their time each year to organizations and communities across the province.
The Volunteer Service awards are given to people who volunteer their time to a single organization for several
years.

Indian Summer
World’s Greatest Need
Along the line of smoky hills
A little more kindness and a little less greed:
The crimson forest stands,
A little more giving and a little less need:
And all the day the blue-jay calls
A little more smile and a little less frown:
Throughout the autumn lands.
A little less kicking a man when he’s down:
A little more “we” and a little less “I”:
A few more laughs and a little less cry:
A few more flowers on the pathway of life:
And few on graves at the end of the strife.
Now by the brook the maple leans,
With all his glory spread;
And all the sumachs on the hills
Have turned their green to red.
Now, by great marshes, wrapt in mist,
Or past some river’s mouth,
Throughout the long still autumn day
Wild birds are flying south.

The Song Of The Ski
Norse am I when the first snow falls:
Norse am I till the ice departs.
The fare for which my spirit calls
Its blood from a hundred viking-hearts
The curved wind wraps me like a cloak:
The pines blow out their ghostly smoke.
I’m high on the hill and ready to go A wingless bird in a world of snow:
Yet I’ll ride the air
With a dauntless dare
That only a child of the north can know.
