Awards of Excellence
The people that live in Woodstock help to shape our community everyday. Their actions have contributed to our title as the "friendly city" and we think it's important to recognize those citizens that give back to our city.
We do this through awards:
- The Civic Awards honour excellence in a number of categories, including sports, bravery, distinction, volunteerism and years of service.
- The Student Civic Awards honours a graduating student who has succeeded academically and given back to the community.
