This celebration will fall during National Volunteer Week which runs from April 14th – 20th.
This year the theme for National Volunteer Week is Every Moment Matters which highlights the importance of every volunteer and each contribution they make at a moment when we need support more than ever. The sharing of time, skills, empathy, and creativity is vital to the inclusivity, strength, and well-being of our communities.
Mayor Andy Lennox: “Volunteers are the heart of Wellington North, and we look forward to recognizing and celebrating volunteerism in our community, and also welcoming our newcomers and showing to you that Wellington North is a great place to live, work and raise a family. Please come out and join us on April 18th.”
