Parksville volunteers to be honoured with recognition they deserve
PARKSVILLE — Hundreds of people who dedicate their lives to helping others will soon have their moment in the spotlight.
Mayor Mark Lefebvre said he was thrilled to honour Parksville volunteers by declaring April 23 to April 29 Volunteer Week, as part of a national initiative.
“They don’t talk about it, they just do it,” he said. “They don’t brag about it, they don’t look for recognition. It’s just something they want to do.”
Lefebvre said the City of Parksville was built on the backs of selfless volunteers.
