Statement by the Prime Minister on National Volunteer Week

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on National Volunteer Week:

“During National Volunteer Week, we recognize and thank the many Canadians who give back and make a difference in the lives of others. By contributing their time and efforts, they are changing lives, helping to build stronger communities, and to make tomorrow better than today.

“This year’s theme, ‘The Value of One, The Power of Many’, highlights the importance of our individual actions, as well as our collective strength.
