April 7-13, 2019 is National Volunteer Week! It is a time to celebrate and thank Canada’s 12.7 million volunteers. This year's theme is: “The Volunteer Factor – Lifting Communities.”
The Volunteer Factor celebrates and recognizes the exponential impact of volunteers and how they lift our communities.
The beautiful image of the hot air balloons of different sizes, shapes and colours reflects the diversity of community volunteers. It illustrates that when people volunteer together, the sky is the limit, in terms of what they can achieve.

Adrian Paton Travelling Photo Exhibit

The Adrian Paton Travelling Exhibit is free to borrow and is ideal for museums, schools, libraries, town offices, galleries, or other community venues. The display features selected photos from Adrian Paton Photo Collection along with information designed to inspire people to reflect on the past. A teacher’s kit accompanies the exhibit.
Adrian Paton began to collect photographs in the late 1980s and has built an enormous photograph collection, totaling about 8,000 pieces. Many of the photos relate to the Arcola region of Saskatchewan.
