City of Mississauga Volunteers...
Helping to Enrich our Community Together!
Volunteers are a valuable part of our
Recreation team. We invest time and resources to provide our volunteers with an opportunity for
an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
The Recreation Division works with hundreds of
volunteers to deliver outstanding programs and services. Through our Volunteer Management
Program, we strive to match volunteers with available positions which meet their needs and
interests.
