We are excited to announce our Keynote Speaker Bruce MacDonald, President & CEO of Imagine Canada.
From the global pandemic to the WE charity controversy to a seismic shift related to systemic racism, the charitable sector has been engaged in massive disruption. Bruce’s keynote will address some of the main issues from 2020 and look ahead to the possibilities of 2021. More event info.
The 2020 Volunteer Futures BCACG Symposium has been rescheduled to November 12 & 13. Given the current circumstances with the pandemic, we have shifted to a virtual conference instead. We may not be together in-person, but we will continue to offer the cost-effective, high quality event that you have come to expect and value.
Volunteering has changed dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to keep the momentum going, organizations can offer virtual volunteering opportunities to keep volunteers engaged. Today’s volunteering includes donating your time and skills virtually. Instead of being physically available to volunteer, many people have found their place in the world of virtual volunteering.
For many roles, all you need is an internet connection to make a difference! We’ve compiled a list of virtual volunteer ideas from organizations across BC in our info sheet. Check it out here.
