Mr. Speaker, everyone knows that a volunteer helps others, but Vyrt Sisson, a new retiree with an impressive record of service in the Brantford area has turned the tables and is helping volunteers.
Mr. Sisson has opened The Office at the YM-YWCA. This provides a place where retired or displaced business people have an office environment available to them to facilitate their work for volunteer organizations. So much more can be accomplished with the right equipment and atmosphere. Networking, co-operation, camaraderie; that is a great combination.
Leading by example has always been Mr. Sisson's style but this novel idea shows the impact one individual can have on a community.
I am bringing this to your attention because Mr. Sisson is a fine example of volunteerism in Brant.
