ENS Volunteer Recognition Program

Volunteer Award Program

ENS Volunteer Recognition Program

The Edmonton Numismatic Society’s Volunteer Recognition Program is unique in Canada’s numismatic community. It is available to all current ENS members. The program was created to allow the ENS to publicly recognize the invaluable dedication and commitment of its volunteer members in their efforts to make the ENS the most dynamic and vibrant collector society in Canada.

The ENS Volunteer Recognition Program is comprised of two parts.

The first is the Silver Maple Leaf Volunteer Award, given annually to each ENS member in good standing who supports specific club activities. Each Maple Leaf Award is a full, 1-ounce Royal Canadian Mint Silver Maple Leaf that can be earned in any of three categories, namely: General Volunteer, The Planchet, and the Board of Directors/Executive.  A General Volunteer must volunteer a minimum of 4 hours at both the Spring and Fall Coin Shows or support the monthly meetings by providing ongoing hospitality services or do numismatic presentations. The Silver for the Planchet category is given for submitting one or more articles and/or assisting with magazine production.  For the Board of Directors/Executive category, one must hold an active position as elected each year by the membership.

The second part of the ENS Volunteer Recognition Program is the Go for the Gold. Here, each member’s volunteer contributions are additionally recognized by providing entries for two gold coin draws, with the coins now specified as half-sovereigns or equivalent. The two categories in the Gold Program are: General Volunteer and The Planchet. The number of gold draw entries for each volunteer is dependent upon the number and type of volunteer activities for that member, subject to new limits. Club members can have a maximum of 5 entries for the General Volunteer Gold category per year – including participating in shows (1 credit for each 4 hours volunteered) and meeting presentations (1 credit per presentation). For The Planchet Gold draw, there are a maximum of 7 entries per person per year (a maximum of 1 credit per Planchet issue).

Please ensure that your membership dues are paid, so that you remain eligible for these awards. Thanks again for your volunteer support!
