Our Volunteers

The heart of the Society!

The Society is operated and managed entirely by unpaid volunteers. In many respects, our volunteers are the Society. Without volunteers - both past, present and future - to conduct and manage its various activities; the Society simply couldn't exist. Our deepest appreciation and thanks to them all!

There are many volunteer opportunities where we could really appreciate help, whether during or outside office hours. Adults and Youth are welcome.  

Student High School Community Involvement Hours are available for: Halton District School Board and the Halton Catholic District School Board.


If you'd like to join our volunteers, we'd love to hear from you. Please use the linked EMAIL Contact form and select Volunteer. Sign up and become a member volunteer!
