It was the Oakville & Area Volunteer Appreciation Awards Saturday night.

Darcy and Andrea Miller picked up the Citizen of the Year award, and Darcy Miller says it's very humbling.

"I feel very humbled, considering some of the past recipients of the award. When you look at the names and realize how much of an impact they've had in our community. It's very humbling to be held in the same category."

Miller explains why they're so involved with the community.

"I think one of our most motivating factors is the fond memories we both have of growing up in small town Manitoba. That the experiences we had growing up, we want to make sure the current generation growing up has the same opportunities that we had."

Miller adds they're really honoured to be given the award.
