Since 1988, the Volunteer Awards have celebrated the remarkable efforts of over 27,000 volunteers across the City of Logan, showcasing the strength and spirit of the community.
Important update: Event transition
While the much-loved City of Logan Volunteers Breakfast will continue to be a cherished annual event, the Awards program honouring individuals and organisations will now be part of a broader celebration: The City of Logan People’s Excellence Awards.
This new program will continue to recognise the outstanding contributions of volunteers and community organisations, while expanding its scope to celebrate excellence across the city.
Introducing The City of Logan People’s Excellence Awards
The City of Logan People’s Excellence Awards is a new multi-category awards program that continues the tradition of recognising volunteerism and community service while expanding its scope to recognise a more diverse range of contributions that make a positive impact in the community.
The program will culminate in a formal event, debuting in March 2026, where winners across all categories will be announced and celebrated.
This new format allows us to celebrate a broader spectrum of excellence across our city, bringing together stories of impact, dedication, and achievement from all corners of the community.
