Public health nurse Donna Helgeson accepts a certificate of appreciation on behalf of Interior Health volunteers from Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton and Coun. Charlotte Hutchinson during a Sicamous & District Volunteer Appreciation Tea held Friday in council chambers. Twenty-five volunteer groups were honoured during the event. Organizer Coun. Suzanne Carpenter thanked the more than 100 volunteers who attended, and apologized to any groups that may have been missed, such as the Girl Guides of Canada, whom Peggy Chmilar has been involved with for the past 23 years, and the Citizens on Patrol.
