Volunteerism

Volunteering is an activity of high importance in Canada’s social life.

Volunteering can play a critical role at every stage of life, but it can also serve as a way to help you navigate transitions, such as retirement. Volunteering can contribute to your quality of life today and allow you to create a legacy for the future.

Whether your transition or retirement involves a change in your home, neighborhood, health situation, work situation, or daily schedule, volunteering can make your days meaningful and fulfilling in new ways.

The relevance of volunteering lies in the connections that are made with your community, while also helping you maintain your skills or develop new skills and allowing you to participate in the democratic process.

Through volunteering, you can help shape and preserve the society you want to live in, for yourself and for future generations.
