Today marks the start of National Volunteer Week in Canada.  I wish to acknowledge and applaud the tireless efforts of all volunteers in our community and, closer to my heart, those serving and supporting families through the work of the Family and Client Advisory Councils at The Royal and the Ottawa Network for Borderline Personality Disorder.  

Your devotion to the health and wellbeing of others in our community is AWESOME and I wish to loudly and proudly express my appreciation for all that you do and offer a wholehearted round of applause and cheer!  An extra shout out goes to all volunteers who are serving with heart and courage to provide essential services during this unprecedented time, as well to our other volunteers who are staying home to keep everyone safe.

Thank you to all our life giving Volunteers for the helping hands and hope you bring to so many!
