We’re proud to share that the City of Leduc’s Community Development team has earned national recognition with an Honourable Mention at the 2026 Creative City Impact Awards for VolunteerFest, Leduc’s annual volunteer appreciation event. The awards are presented by the Creative City Network of Canada (CCNC).

VolunteerFest brings together hundreds of volunteers each year to celebrate the individuals who contribute their time, skills and energy to organizations and events throughout Leduc. The event highlights the important role volunteers play in building a welcoming, connected, and resilient city. The awards jury noted that VolunteerFest’s scale and approach offer valuable lessons for other municipalities.

The honour recognizes the outstanding work of the City’s Community Development team and its commitment to fostering volunteerism and engagement. Through VolunteerFest, the team has created a meaningful way to celebrate the people whose contributions help make Leduc a stronger community.

The Creative City Impact Awards recognize municipalities, programs and initiatives that contribute to vibrant, creative and connected communities across Canada. The 2026 awards received a record 70 nominations across eight categories.

This is an outstanding achievement and a testament to the creativity, dedication and impact of our Community Development team. We’re proud of the work they continue to do across our city and are pleased to see those efforts recognized on the national stage.

Congratulations, Community Development.
