"Volunteers enthusiastically give their time, energy and expertise to help out, support and make a difference in our community. They share their skills, abilities and experience and bring a fresh perspective and new ideas.
"Our communities would not be what they are today if they were not built on the backs of the hard work of our many volunteers Our Volunteers bring so much positivity to Federation Council and I look forward to celebrating their many achievements in June."
