Happy National Volunteer Week 2025!

National Volunteer Week is an annual celebration dedicated to honouring our incredible volunteers. From April 27 - May 3, 2025, we’re excited to make a special effort to recognize and celebrate volunteers.

The theme for National Volunteer Week 2025 is Volunteers Make Waves. This theme highlights the power, impact, and importance of volunteer efforts across Canada. Like a wave, each volunteer contribution, no matter how big or small, creates momentum and has the power to influence and inspire others.

Volunteers Make Waves—and together, we are creating lasting, positive change.

Throughout National Volunteer Week, we’ll be highlighting some of the amazing volunteers who are making waves from coast to coast to coast. Follow us on social media to hear their impactful stories!

Let’s continue making waves of change together.
