New Date for National Volunteer Week - April 10 to 16, 2011
April 10-16 is the revised date for National Volunteer Week 2011. NVW was originally slated for the third week in April. The date change was made to avoid overlap with other holidays that fall within the same time frame. This update has been adopted by both Volunteer Canada and its American affiliate, Points of Light Institute. 

National Volunteer Week is an annual celebration of the spirit and energy of Canadian volunteers. Every individual volunteer makes a difference in the lives of those he or she serves. The combined effect of Canada’s 11.5 million volunteers is a force that shapes our nation. We celebrate National Volunteer Week as a way to thank and honour Canada's past and present volunteers.

Future Date for National Volunteer Week
2012 - April 15 to 21
