Volunteer Week - April 15 to April 21, 2012
Volunteer Week is an opportunity to annually
salute and thank all the individuals and volunteer organizations who volunteer for and liaise
with Recreation & Parks. These individuals and groups help provide a wide variety of
leisure services for our residents. We are proud of our working association with such a large
network of volunteers.
Join us as we say "thanks" to our
community volunteers during this special week.
