Parksville Volunteers

Recognize • Celebrate • Appreciate Parksville.ca Volunteering is good for the heart and the soul.

Volunteers strengthen our community and make the City of Parksville vibrant.

The City of Parksville honours our dedicated volunteers and community organizations for their outstanding contribution to our City and recognizes that volunteers are an important partner with government in providing services to citizens.

Because of the unselďŹ shness of our many volunteers, Parksville is a more desirable place to live, work and play.

Volunteering your time is a great way to help the community.

Please consider volunteering by contacting an organization of interest, they would be pleased to chat with you about possible volunteer opportunities and the right ďŹ t for your talents.

Volunteers bring their time and good old fashioned elbow grease to programs that rely on inspiration.

Volunteers are those in our community who see a need and willingly work to overcome the need by sharing their skills. Volunteers are those helping hands working together to promote quality of life and unselďŹ shly stepping forward to assist.

The world is hugged by the faithful arms of volunteers.

Importance of volunteers Volunteers are the backbone of many organizations. Volunteers give of their time and labour and expect very little in return. We hope our City’s volunteers know they are truly appreciated and that they are an important part of the success of our community.
