Water Polo Canada presents its Volunteers of the Year during its annual general meeting, customarily held in September. The group of outstanding individuals were selected with the help of representatives from provincial water polo organizations, and each was recognized for its significant contribution to the sport in the past year.

• To honour the best representative(s) of sport
• Stimulate our representatives in the pursuit of excellence
