WHEREAS volunteering of an individual’s time and resources is an essential part of the Canadian spirit;

NOW THEREFORE, I, Mayor Dave Augustyn, do hereby proclaim and declare that the week of April 23 – 29, 2017, to be “National Volunteer Week” in the Municipality of the Town of Pelham, where the entire community benefits from these valuable contributions made by our volunteers.
