Volunteers to be thanked At a time when everyone is being asked to do more with less, Town of Halton Hills Council and staff would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the volunteers in our community who continue to give of their time and of themselves. Volunteers bring a multitude of skills, experience, knowledge and compassion to so many individuals and organizations in our town. This year, National Volunteer Week is April 18-24 and is a time for all of us to pause and celebrate the energy and commitment of volunteers. I am very proud of our community's caring, co-operative spirit. Much of what our town has accomplished is the result of the contributions of our local community volunteers. In order to express our thanks and gratitude, the Town will be hosting a Volunteer Appreciation Celebration themed `Celebrating Our Everyday Heroes'. The event will be held at the Gellert Community Centre the evening of Tuesday, June 8. All volunteers in Halton Hills will be extended an invitation later this month. For more information or to register for the event, "everyday heroes" are encouraged to visit www.dontneedacape. com. ··· Halton Hills will once again be participating in the 22 minute make over.
