  • CSC TRANSFORMATION

National Volunteer Week (NVW) was established in 1943 to recognize Canadian volunteers who donate their time and energy assisting others and to raise awareness about the vital contribution volunteers make to our communities.

CSC is deeply indebted to volunteers for their active contribution to public safety. We encourage you to visit this site in the upcoming days, where highlights from this year’s NVW will be posted.
