A great pleasure to celebrate #NVW2022 with Canadian Cancer Society’s Better Women Program. Inspiring to learn that volunteers are named as essential in your mission. 🌼

How many EDs/CEOs can we fit in a greenhouse? 😉 Grateful for an enriching day of connection and learning with city-wide agency leaders. Thank you @YMCAGTACamps and Medhat Mahdy for bringing us together

This week I spoke with CBC Toronto, CBC Here and Now and 640 Toronto about the complex trends in volunteerism at this stage in the pandemic. Volunteer Toronto is tracking these trends and supporting the recovery of volunteerism through various swings of supply and demand.

Tomorrow (8AM) catch me on CTV Your Morning as we continue the volunteer supply and demand discussion— Volunteer Toronto is seeing a decline in participation, but colleagues VolunteerConnector Volunteer Waterloo Region Volunteer Halton @PINnetworkGW are seeing otherwise. Tune in to CTV for my thoughts!

Our sector is essential. Our sector is resilient. Our sector is a major part of Toronto’s social and economic health. Happy #TONonProfitDay to the talented colleagues who make our work possible! John Tory City of Toronto 🇨🇦 Toronto Nonprofit Network
