Port Colborne celebrating volunteers with weeklong campaign
Contributions of Port Colborne volunteers are being recognized by the city during National Volunteer Week with a series of social media posts highlighting their commitments to the community.
Daily from April 27 to May 3, the city will profile a different volunteer on Port Colborne's
Facebook
and
Instagram
pages.
The campaign will share stories of residents involved in a range of volunteer efforts, such as helping with Canal Days and the Community Concert Series, or supporting Port Colborne Public Library and the local museum.
'Port Colborne has the best volunteers around, and often that passion is passed on from one generation to the next,' Mayor Bill Steele said in a statement.
'We have overwhelming community support for so many of our annual events, and our volunteers are the hear of all we are able to accomplish.'
The city began celebrating National Volunteer Appreciation Week in 2019, joining municipalities across the Niagara region.
