The sun is out, and the weather is gorgeous just in time for Edmonton's nonprofits and charities to send out more than 13,000 thank you cards to their volunteers!
National Volunteer Week, which started April 18, is seven days in which to recognize the outstanding efforts of all of Canada's volunteers - from those who sit on national hospital boards to those who bake cookies for their child's soccer team, and back again. Throughout our country, these volunteers are improving our quality of life at every level.
For those of us working in the nonprofit sector, we see the benefits of volunteers every day - these are the people who help run our programs, put their skills to work on our committees, organize fundraisers, balance our books, and give us guidance and direction as members of our boards. Many of Alberta's nonprofits and charities are entirely volunteer driven, and the rest of us succeed only with their committed help.
On behalf of the 4,000 nonprofits and charities in Edmonton, we thank all the volunteers for their help & determination in making sure that not only Edmonton's nonprofit sector continues to thrive, but that Edmonton itself is a stronger, healthier, more compassionate and simply better place to live for all of us.
Happy National Volunteer Week!
With Thanks,
ECVO
