Community Service Award Murray Whetung Community Service Award for Cadets
Background
The Murray Whetung Community Service Award Act received Royal Assent on 25 April 2024. The Act provides that the Minister of Citizenship and Multiculturalism shall provide for an award to be given each year to a cadet in each local Royal Canadian Air Cadet corps, Royal Canadian Army Cadet corps and Royal Canadian Sea Cadet corps who is selected by their corps for demonstrating exceptional citizenship and volunteerism within their community and their corps.
Although First Nations persons were exempt from conscription, more than 4000 such persons enlisted in World War I and more than 3000 enlisted in World War II. Many lost their Indian status because they were away for more than four years. Despite this, many continued their community service and gave back to their communities their entire life. Murray Whetung was a Curve Lake First Nations veteran who continued to serve his community after returning from service overseas.
The Award
The Murray Whetung Community Service Award for Cadets is a certificate awarded by the Honours and Awards Secretariat of the Province of Ontario. It recognizes that Ontario’s Cadet and Junior Canadian Ranger programs equip youth with vital life skills, instil a lifelong passion for volunteerism, and foster community pride. Each year, these youth generously volunteer their time to support their corps, squadrons and patrols while enriching their communities.
Selection Criteria
The criteria are fairly broad: recognizing exceptional citizenship and volunteer contributions. The recipient should be a cadet who has gone above and beyond their peers in volunteerism and community service. This can be measured by the amount of volunteering (hours contributed), longevity of volunteerism (dedicated over many years), or impact of their volunteerism (number of people benefiting or amount of benefit realised). Volunteering can be for one organization / cause, or several.
