The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) is recognizing Bill Sanderman as the 2025 Electoral Area C Volunteer of the Year for his efforts and dedication to the region.
Part of Sanderman’s recognition comes from his role in expanding the Moyie Volunteer Fire Department.
“Bill has been a passionate champion for the safety, inclusion, and well-being of residents in Area C for many years,” said RDEK Electoral Area C Director Rob Gay.
“He spearheaded the effort to attract volunteer firefighters to the Moyie Volunteer Fire Department Society, offered training and support, advocated to expand their fleet, and has carried on as the lead in completing the enormous task of building a new firehall.”
The RDEK says Sanderman is also an active board member of the Moyie Shores Strata and has operated and managed the water system for many years.
In his role as president of the Moyie Community Association, Sanderman has demonstrated his leadership by working to engage a broader community, gathering a new executive and moving forward with community projects.
“His foresight will benefit future generations in the organization as he has taken the time to gather all documentation and write a guidance manual for future executives of the association,” said Gay.
The Volunteer of the Year celebration was held on Monday night in Cranbrook.
