Volunteer Award

Volunteer Award

As it does every year, the Municipality of the District of Chester recently hosted a reception to honour volunteers nominated by the many organizations whose members provide time and talent to maintain services within the community.
At this year’s event, Janet Piers, nominated by the Chester Garden Club, received a certificate thanking her for her contribution to a variety of organizations in the community. A long-time member of the club, Janet has been very supportive of its aims and has also turned a practical hand to such varied activities as weeding the Parade Square Garden, serving tea at the club’s annual Flower Show and tea, and pulling on rubber gloves to wash dishes when the club was hosting a big luncheon.
She and her late husband, Rear Admiral Desmond Piers, were also supporters of the Chester Playhouse, the Sea Cadets, and the Girl Guides. They took particular interest in encouraging young people to participate in community activities and to achieve their potential goals.
