National Volunteer Week, the biggest celebration of volunteers and volunteerism in our country, is coming. The 2010 campaign lands on the week of April 18-24, and Volunteer Canada wants to make sure that your organization is prepared to celebrate the achievements and hard work of all the volunteers around you!
Take the time this National Volunteer Week to recognize the 12.5 million volunteers nationwide by saying thank you. In the last year, they gave 2.1 billion hours of their time, energy and skills to the benefit of our community services, shelters, hospitals, sports teams, environment, political movements, disaster relief, international aid and development agencies and arts and culture scene to name a few. They are the selfless individuals who demonstrate their genuine compassion for the well being of others and in support of essential causes, by taking action and by making a difference.
The campaign’s theme, Volunteers: from compassion to action. encompasses their inspiration.
Please join us in celebrating National Volunteer Week in 2010, as we honour volunteers and the power of the volunteer across this nation.
