Vernon gives thanks to volunteers as part of national event
Volunteers are vital to many services all year long, but this is the one week of the year they officially get recognition for their efforts.
National Volunteer Week is from April 14-20, and the theme for 2024 is Every Moment Matters.
The City of Vernon is thanking the hundreds of residents who help make the community a better place by donating their time.
“These volunteer contributions help make some programs possible in areas such as Emergency Support Services, Protective Services and Community Safety, RCMP Crime Prevention, Recreation Services, and council committees,” a city news release stated.
