This is Volunteer Appreciation Week where we take the time to recognize those who give their time generously to the community.
Among them is Chris Hicks a volunteer fitness instructor with ConnectWell Community Health in Lanark.
She told our Lynda D’Aoust giving is just something she’s always done.
The theme for this year’s week is “Every Moment Matters.” Hicks has had many of those.
The week recognizes and celebrates every volunteer and each contribution they make to strengthen inclusivity and wellbeing in our communities.
Giving to the community comes naturally to Hicks who served as a police officer for many years. Continuing to do so after retirement was a natural progression.
If you get the chance this week thank a volunteer. Or even better call your local food bank, animal shelter, or any other local organization and ask if you can help.
You can listen to the complete conversation between Lynda and Chris Hicks below.
