SIRC Newsletter now available online: Volunteerism

Volunteerism is considered the backbone of Canada's sport and recreation system. Currently, Canada has over 6.5 million volunteers with 35% of those being involved in sport. Sport volunteers encompass people from all walks of life, from active and retired athletes, coaches and officials to professionals, parents and youth (and more) who want to help out in their community. Volunteers are the key to making sport possible for the physical, social and emotional development of children and adults, so it's important that we recognize and value their contributions to the sport community.
