CORE Alberta News - April 20, 2023
Thank you for being a part of the CORE Alberta community!
National Volunteer Week is April 16-22, 2023, as we celebrate volunteers across Canada, and the support they provide not-for-profits across the country. This year’s theme is Volunteering Weaves us Together: Strengthening the Fabric of our Community by Sharing our Time, Talent and Energy to Support One Another.
Healthy Aging CORE Alberta would like to thank the 24 million volunteers across the nation, especially the volunteers in the community-based seniors serving sector who help keep older adults in Canada healthy, active, and engaged!
