National Volunteer Week kicks off in Lethbridge
The National Volunteer Week flag was raised at Lethbridge City Hall Monday morning to kick off the week that honours volunteers across Canada. Amanda Jensen is the Executive Director at Volunteer Lethbridge. She says volunteerism is not just a soft and beautiful thing here in Lethbridge, it is a driving force to our community and economy.
This year’s theme for National Volunteer Week is Every Moment Matters. It was chosen to highlight the importance of every volunteer and each contribution they make at a moment when support is needed more than ever. In addition to festivities throughout the week, Jensen plans to hold serious discussions on employment and volunteering.
National Volunteer Week runs until April 20.
