Canada’s volunteers make a tremendous contribution in communities across the country. They make our community resilient and our country vibrant.
To recognize their contributions, organizations throughout Canada are celebrating National Volunteer Week from April 10 to 16. National Volunteer Week pays tribute to the millions of Canadian volunteers who donate their time and talents to our communities.
The Prince Albert Parkland Health Region will once again honour its volunteers throughout the month of April. The festivities begin with the long-service awards Thursday at 2 p.m. at the Travelodge Hotel in Prince Albert.
April 11, a commemorative tree planting ceremony will be held at the Prince Albert Tourism Centre. Mayor Greg Dionne, along with PAPHR volunteers, will be present.
The celebrations continue throughout the month of April with volunteer appreciation teas held in each of the Health Region’s facilities.
The Health Region’s 3,500 volunteers are an active and important part of the human resources devoted to the hospitals, long-term care facilities, Home Care, Public Health and Primary Care within the Region.
