What does that word mean to you? Get ready to find out about what volunteering really means to the people in your communi- ty ... to your neighbours, your child, your father, your friend .. and to you. The United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed the year 2001 as the International Year of Volunteers (IYV 2001). This global recognition allows countries the unique opportu- nity to highlight the achieve- ments of generous and caring citizens, as well as to expand volunteerism within their com- munities. Durham Region Community Care kicked off this much antic- ipated year on Dec. 5 with local community events which included a ribbon campaign, and a media blitz throughout the region. Through the dedication of 2,100 volunteers, Community Care proudly serves more than 6,000 adults and their care- givers with needs related to physical disability, aging and/or mental health. Community Care is busy planning for IYV 2001 with a goal that is two-fold; to cele- brate the many volunteers with- in the organization and to raise awareness of volunteering throughout the region. As the population ages and more people receive health services at home, the need for volunteers within Community Care alone is ever increasing. According to Volunteer Canada, 75 per cent of the total number of volunteered hours come from less than 10 per cent of all Canadians. Future articles and informa- tion will bring you new and cre- ative ways to think about find- ing a fulfilling volunteer experi- ence with a cause that is close to your heart; some volunteers do this from home, as a family or through their work.
