Volunteers are the roots of strong communities. And just like roots are essential for trees to bloom, volunteers are essential for communities to bloom.
Thanks to volunteers, communities grow strong and resilient. Even the tiniest volunteer effort leaves a profound and lasting trace in a community, much like tree rings that appear over time.
Volunteers nourish our lives with their energy, skills and talents.
Through volunteering, people also become rooted in their communities, connecting to the people and places where they live.
April 10 to 16 is National Volunteer Week, a time to celebrate and thank Canada's 12.7 million volunteers. It is a time to express gratitude for what volunteers and volunteering does for all of us.
