This event will bring together community leaders, organizations and volunteers to recognize the extraordinary contributions of volunteers across the Peterborough region. Guests will enjoy light refreshments and are invited to take part in a complimentary self-guided tour of the Canadian Canoe Museum during the event.

“Volunteers are the backbone of our community,” said Tyler Chambers, Event Volunteer. “National Volunteer Week is an opportunity to come together and celebrate the incredible impact they make every single day. We are delighted that the United Way of Peterborough & District recognize the importance of celebrating volunteerism and have funded this event with one of its Neighbourhood Grants.”

Volunteer Peterborough is inviting local organizations to nominate their ‘Most Valuable Volunteers’ for recognition as part of the celebration. Nominations can be submitted online or by emailing names to info@volunteerpeterborough.ca.
