Volunteers are honored across country this week By Pam Williams This week is "Volunteer Week" across Canada. In today's society, delivery of services by hundreds of agencies in the province would be impossible without the volunteer. It is estimated that there are at least 3.7 million volunteers in Canada, contributing a minimum of five hours each per week. A volunteer is defined as "any person who gives of his or her time, ideas, resour- ces, knowledge and skill without monetary com- pensation".

The members then divided into six groups and a discussion followed. volunteers are important people. Volunteers include people of any age who have a sense of commitment, compassion and community. They give freely of their time and talents in an area of their individual choice. Volun- teers are people with un - purchased time who can be an important part of a service team which includes professionals . and para- professionals. Even in this small com- munity, volunteers provide an essential service to the area. Whether it be the volunteers that keep the hospital auxiliary going, boards of directors volun- teers, drivers for the Canadian Cancer Society or the volunteers that give a lot of their time to the seniors day centre in Wingham. These are the people who should be thanked this week. So, if you've thought of becoming a volunteer,. take time this week to think about sharing the gift of time. As Albert Schweitzer once said, "The only ones - among you who will truly be happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve." ftern holds 11 nit prii meet BELGRAVE — The April meeting of the Belgrave Afternoon UCW was held April 11 at 2 p.m. in the Sun- day School room.
