Volunteers Say...

"At this stage in my life I have more time to spend volunteering. I want to spend this time in support of a health system that has been very good to me."

Doug, Volunteer



Did You Know?

Volunteering is a way to bolster community ties. It offers individual rewards, too. According to the Canadian Community Health Survey, "Close to two-thirds of those who felt a very strong or somewhat strong sense of community belonging reported excellent or very good general health."
