Special events
honor efforts
of volunteers

A CENTURY ago the birth of a child, putting on a new
roof or digging a well were all occasions for a neighbor to
drop by and lend a hand. As economic, environmental and
individual concerns become more complex the need for
volunteers has steadily increased.

Many Canadians, in fact 70 per
cent of our population, donate
their time, energy and skills to
organizations, individuals and
community projects. April 9 to
April !5 is Volunteer Recognition
Week. The week provides all of us
with an opportunity to thank the
people who throughout the year
have provided support to those in
need.

The North Shore Information
and Volunteer Centre is promoting
volunteers and their work in many
ways. The centre has asked the

’ three North Shore mayors to pro-
claim Volunteer Week. Each will
receive a large proclamation to
hang in their municipal halls. A
special show will be hosted on
Shaw cable featuring community
volunteers. To honor the volun-
teers at the centre, there will be an
informal luncheon April 11.

Many other organizations, due
to their dedicated and industrious
volunteer coordinators, have plan-
ned events for their volunteers. For
example, the Lions Gate Hospital
Auxiliary recently hosted a provin-
ciai conference for Candy Stripers,
students whe volunteer in hospi-
tals.

On April 13 the West Van.
Senior Centre staff is hosting a
wine and cheese social with enter-
tainment by Lance Harrison and
