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.

Taylor Award
Prairie Region - Susan Hall
Since 1991, Susan Hall has been a volunteer instructor for the Christopher Leadership Course (CLC) in Effective Speaking at Bowden Institution. She has instructed each of the program’s 29 courses over an 18-year period. Many offenders graduate from the program with skills that have a tremendous impact on their lives; enhanced employability skills, increased motivation to participate in other programs, and a desire for more meaningful interaction with their families and enhanced community support.
Susan is a builder of unity and community. In past years, she has helped to connect staff and offenders at Bowden Institution not only with other community partners but also with each other. She has encouraged other citizens to become involved as volunteers and was instrumental in establishing the CLC program at two other institutions.
Susan shows excellent leadership skills. She has the ability to bring out the best in all those she comes in contact with and is a role model for everyone.
