Christopher Zweerman, a 2007 environmental sciences graduate, was the recipient of one of three Winegard Exemplary Volunteer Involvement Awards bestowed at a ceremony held April 3.

Named after former U of G president Bill Winegard, the awards recognize members of the University community who have shown commitment to volunteering and given outstanding service to organizations in the Guelph area.

Selected from a pool of nominees by Winegard and volunteer representatives from the University, United Way and Volunteer Centre, Zweerman was seen as making a great impact on the community of Guelph, particularly in assisting the city’s most vulnerable members, and increasing awareness of energy conservation. He has worked with Meals on Wheels, Green Impact Guelph, Project Torchlight, and the Guelph Institute for the Environment.
