The event takes place at Wreyfield Drive Methodist Church from 12pm to 3pm today and is dedicated to connecting individuals with meaningful volunteer opportunities in the community.

The Volunteers Fair will feature community organizations, nonprofits, and aspiring volunteers to come together under one roof, attendees will have the chance to explore various volunteer roles and connect with organizations.

The Stephen Joseph Theatre Community Engagement Department will also be holding workshops and there will be a special performance from Creative Day Care Scarborough.

“One of the most rewarding things in life can be giving your time to make a positive difference to others in your community, Please do come down to the fair and see what opportunities there may be for you to help.
