Each year up to 35 awards will be confer- red for significant contributions at the pro- vincial level as well as up to 15 awards in each of the ministry's five regions. The awards will take the form of a framed cer- tificate, a distinctive lapel pin and a cita- tion outlining the volunteer's ac- complishments. "The development of recreation in On- tario is heavily dependent on the thousands of volunteers who readily con- _ tribute their time and energy" Eakins said. "Our Ministry currently provides sup- port to volunteers through leadership development and training opportunities, but to date no formal recognition has been given to the volunteers who have played a major role in the development of recrea- tion in Ontario. The Corps D'Elite pro- gram will encourage further volunteer in- volvement and stimulate others to become involved in recreation. Partnership between volunteers and professionals is the cornerstone of any recreation system," Eakins said. The first awards will be given in the Spr- ing of 1986.
