Celebrating a most valued resource - volunteers

As Honourary Chair, Ron will be involved in our annual Volunteer Week celebration activities and will assist the Volunteer Week Committee in their efforts to highlight and celebrate one of our most valued resources – our volunteers!

The theme, 'Volunteers…passion, action, impact', was chosen by the Volunteer Week Committee to highlight the work carried out every day in this province by the large number of volunteers, which generally goes unnoticed. 

So please join Ron Ellsworth, the Community Sector Council Newfoundland and Labrador and the Volunteer Week Committee in celebrating the passion, action, and impact of volunteers in our communitie - set aside April 15 to April 21 to celebrate our volunteers!
