FCSS recognized area volunteers

By Diana Walker

The theme for National Volunteer Week 2025 was Volunteers Make Waves. This theme highlights the power of individual and collective volunteer efforts in creating positive change and building a more connected world. The idea is that every act of volunteering, like a wave, creates ripples of impact, inspiring others and shaping communities.

Oyen FCSS prepared a free dinner for volunteers at the centre on Main Street, Monday, April 28. Attendees also received swag bags and entered their name into the draw box. Vicki Smale received a Spa Basket; Lawrence Hanson a Tool Set.
