Volunteerism
The scope and value of volunteerism in Canada is impressive. It is estimated that one in three Canadians volunteer. The value of these contributions is well in excess of one billion hours a year - an estimated 500,000 full-time jobs. Saskatchewan has been recognized as the province with the highest per capita rate of volunteerism for several years in a row - higher than the national average. 

Check out SaskCulture's web page on Volunteerism to learn about the roles of a volunteer, the benefits of volunteerism and how to keep volunteers.
