It’s Volunteer Appreciation Week 🤍

In Canada, Volunteer Appreciation week is an annual celebration that recognizes the incredible impact volunteers have in Canadian communities.

For so many organizations, volunteers fill crucial gaps where funding and/or staffing is limited.

Volunteers strengthen our community and support vulnerable populations with compassion.

The community care shown by volunteers often has a ripple effect, and creates a sense of purpose for everyone along the way.

We thank those who volunteer with Strong Minds and encourage those looking to do so to reach out to as at info@strongminds.co 🩵

Yesterday, more than 170 organizations came together at the Nurturing Algoma Symposium to discuss how to work together to support at-risk children in our community, because supporting children early has a lasting impact on their health, well-being, and future.

Tomorrow, our team will be joining partners for a full-day of system-wide professional development.

Reminder: Child care and EarlyON centres will be closed tomorrow as staff participate in this important collaborative work. 📢

Whether you walk, jog, or run, you’re part of something bigger.
