Volunteer With Us 

Here at CLSA, volunteers are the heart of our organization. From smiling at our reception desks to helping organize social and special events, to serving on our Board and various committees, we couldn't do it without them! Last year our generous and dedicated volunteers donated over 10, 000 hours of their time to us. We are incredibly grateful.

Why Volunteer?

​

Volunteering is a fantastic way to make difference in your community, positively impact the lives of others, and benefit one's own mental, social, and physical well-being too. A report by the National Seniors Council of Canada found that volunteering promotes positive and active aging, which can actually enhance quality of life in one's golden years.

​

No matter the task, every volunteer has the potential to make a big difference. If you’ve been thinking about contributing your time to a meaningful cause, this is your chance! 

Benefits of volunteering include:​

​

  • An opportunity to give back to the community
