April Volunteer and Events Bulletin

Fraser Valley, You Can Make a Difference

Spring is here, and April is National Volunteer Month. We want to take a moment to thank you for the time and energy you give to our community — your support makes a real difference. We’re kicking things off with a Composting Workshop this month — a great way to reduce waste at home and start the season off green. If you’re looking for more ways to get involved, there are several spring and summer events that still need volunteer support.

Not able to join us in person? You can still make a difference from home. Our Go Green! contest series starts this month, and it’s all about taking simple steps at home to help the environment. By participating, you’ll be helping us reach our goal of reducing 100 tonnes of CO2 — and you’ll have the chance to win some great prizes, too. Scroll down to learn more.
