Honoring volunteers, spotlights their contributions, and inspire others to get involved. It emphasizes the transformative impact of volunteering on communities, highlighting acts of kindness, mentorship, advocacy, and support services.

Many thanks to each and every volunteer on Thetis Island for all you do. You are the heartbeat of this community.

For anyone wishing to volunteer consider a onetime, sometime, part time, more time, opportunity, there is a fit for everyone.

Have a conversation with a friend or neighbour about what might fit best and interest you most.
