Promoting Volunteerism in Canada

Volunteer Vancouver is part of a national movement to promote volunteerism in Canada. Across Canada, community-driven initiatives have been launched to encourage, support and promote volunteerism in our country. Here’s a list of “sister” sites that serve the same purpose as Volunteer Vancouver:

• Volunteer Barrie
• Volunteer Calgary
• Volunteer Halifax
• Volunteer Kelowna
• Volunteer Kingston
• Volunteer London
• Volunteer Oshawa
• Volunteer PEI
• Volunteer Regina
• Volunteer Saskatoon
• Volunteer St. John’s
• Volunteer Winnipeg

What are all these community-driven initiatives trying to accomplish? We want to:

• encourage all Canadians to volunteer;
• support organizations in finding the right people to help their causes;
• increase the public’s awareness around the importance of volunteering;
• make it easier to volunteer; and
• highlight important volunteer resources, organizations, funding opportunities, etc.
