The RM of Thompson recently announced that Judy Knox and Terry Malmquist have been named the 2023 Volunteer of the Year Award recipients.
The award was presented at the Miami and Area Foundation supper on Nov. 4 by Reeve Brian Callum, who notes that the many community clubs in the RM are made possible by the work of many dedicated community volunteers such as Knox and Malmquist.
“Terry and I appreciate receiving the volunteer award from the RM of Thompson and the Village of Miami,” said Judy Knox. “We are both excited and happy in being chosen for this award. We have a great value and deeply appreciate our community.”
Knox and Malmquist have always enjoyed contributing to the community whenever they can.
This year, some of their volunteering was helping out at the new Blair Sharpe Active Living Centre in Miami, working in the Memory Garden, and helping at the Miami Railway Station Museum and playing music and different events and places within the RM.
“A quote that came to me is ‘volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.,’” said Knox.
