Mr. Speaker, April 23 to the 29 marked provincial volunteer week in Nova Scotia, and throughout my riding numerous receptions were held to honour the wonderful people who volunteer in our communities.
There can be no dollar value placed on the selfless commitment of time and hard work by thousands of volunteers who make our communities better places to live.
Many seniors groups throughout Cumberland-Colchester have asked me to publicly thank the Ministry of Health for sponsoring the new horizons grants which help volunteers in so many communities to assist seniors projects helping seniors.
Volunteerism is alive and well. I thank the thousands of volunteers in Cumberland-Colchester who serve our communities which make Canada the number one country in which to live.
