National Volunteer Week

In honour of National Volunteer Week and the thousands of dedicated and caring volunteers in our province Lindsay Blackett, Minister of  Alberta Culture and Community Spirit,  has prepared a special video message.

This video portrays many people who volunteer to provide direct services for our typical client; non-profit and/or charitable agencies. CentrePoint’s volunteers help make our community a better place by providing capacity building tools to a myriad of Non-Profit sector agencies  that in turn help keep our air clean, our culture enlivened, our freedoms protected and enhanced, advocacy on important issues is pursued the poor and sick among us live better lives.
