Celebrating
NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK Christine Parson, recipient of the 2017 North Shore Community Volunteer Spirit Award.
West Vancouver youth a shining example of volunteerism in the community Christine Parsons is a familiar and always smiling face around the West Vancouver Community Centre and Seniors’ Activity Centre. She is one of the recent recipients of the 2017 North Shore Community Volunteer Spirit Award—each year Volunteer North Shore recognizes and celebrates local volunteers who make valuable contributions to community organizations. Having volunteered since 2015, Christine is known and appreciated for her pleasant, easygoing demeanour, and flexibility. She’s a fast learner who has mastered all the volunteer positions at the West Vancouver
Seniors’ Activity Centre’s Garden Side Café, allowing her to easily fill in wherever she is most needed. Christine demonstrates initiative and her smile, positivity, and sense of humour are infectious and greatly appreciated by all those who have the pleasure of working with, or simply interacting with her. Not only is she dedicated and reliable, but also extremely detail oriented, well liked and respected by staff and fellow volunteers. Christine is truly a bright light deserving of recognition for her contribution, and an outstanding example of volunteerism in the community!
A HUGE THANK YOU to all of our volunteers who help to put the Heart in the Art! Each year our team of volunteers donate over 5,000 hours of service to Kay Meek Centre welcoming guests and providing a personal touch to each and every show.
