Ladysmith Volunteer Fair
National Volunteer Week 2024 ran from April 14th to 20th across Canada! We celebrated by hosting a Volunteer Fair:
The Ladysmith Community Fund Society, with the support of Ladysmith Rotary, hosted a very successful Volunteer Fair at the Aggie Hall in Ladysmith on Sunday, April 14th, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
The event was an opportunity for community organizations to tell the community what they’re doing, and how people can help. It was also an opportunity for local people to come and explore ways that they can contribute to these organizations as volunteers or supporters–and come they did.
Response to the Volunteer Fair was overwhelmingly positive. Many organizations were delighted to welcome new volunteers. As a bonus, there was a lot of connecting between local organizations, with an eye to future collaboration within the non-profit sector.
The Volunteer Fair would not have been possible without a grant from Ladysmith Rotary, an organization that has been generous in its support of LCFS since its inception. Thank you to Rotary, and thanks also to Country Grocer for its donation of snacks for the event, and 49th Parallel Printers for in-kind support.
Look Who Came to the Fair!
