2024 NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK CELEBRATIO­NS

-

From April 14 to 20 Volunteer Canada and Volunteer Lethbridge celebrate Canada’s 24 million volunteers during National Volunteer Week (NVW).

This annual celebratio­n is a time to thank and recognize volunteers from coast to coast to coast. This year’s theme is Every Moment Matters. It highlights the importance of every volunteer and each contributi­on they make at a moment when we need support more than ever.

Volunteer Lethbridge connects volunteers with local organizati­ons who have volunteer opportunit­ies to be filled. They also help non-profits run their organizati­ons effectivel­y by filling operations gaps and offering training, networking, and more.

To celebrate NVW, Volunteer Lethbridge has arranged a schedule of events that show appreciati­on for local volunteeri­sm.

Saturday, April 20th: Community Movie Matinee Time: 12:00 p.m. Location: The Movie Mill

Non-profit organizati­ons, their staff, and their volunteers are all invited to a free movie matinee at The Movie Mill. There will be three family movies to choose from; volunteers are encouraged to bring family members along for a fun outing. Contact Volunteer Lethbridge to arrange tickets ahead of time.
