WESTERN MANITOULIN—Next Wednesday, April 12 will see the first event in a new West End initiative: Volunteer Fairs.
From 2 until 8 pm that day, residents of the neighbouring municipalities of Gordon/Barrie Island and Burpee Mills can come out to the Gordon Community Centre on Noble Sideroad to talk to local organizations they can consider joining as a volunteer member.
There is another such event scheduled for the following Wednesday, April 19 (at the Gore Bay Community Hall) and the week after that, April 26 at the Kagawong Park Centre.
In the case of the first volunteer fair, people can find out about helping in a number of community ventures such as the Gore Bay Western Manitoulin Lions Clubs, the Gore Bay Rotary Club, Gore Bay Fire Department, Burpee Mills Fire Department, Misery Bay, Community Living Manitoulin as well as programs within the municipalities.
The upcoming events in their respective communities will offer similar volunteer opportunities. These events are organized by the Western Economic Development office, a LAMBAC initiative.
