Celebrate Volunteer Week in Colwood

Volunteers are the heart of our community, driving positive change from preserving our parks, supporting youth and senior programs, providing arts & cultural experiences, to leading climate action and food security initiatives. In celebration of National Volunteer Week (April 27 to May 3), The City of Colwood and our community partners have teamed up to give back to our volunteers!

1. Registered volunteers will receive a Volunteer Perk Pass, offering perks and special gifts from generous local businesses and organizations. 
2. Througout the week look for Volunteer Spotlights online and featured during a Colwood Council presentation on May 1st, sharing the stories of just a few of the people doing good in our community.
3. We'll wrap up the week by hosting the Colwood Involved: Community and Volunteer Showcase in the foyer at West Shore Parks & Recreation on Saturday, May 3rd — a special event recognizing the incredible impact of volunteers and showcasing the many ways people can get involved.

As a thank-you to our valued community groups and volunteers, we’re excited to offer registered volunteers the Colwood Volunteer Perk Pass. The pass gives registered volunteers access to perks and special gifts from generous, community-minded local businesses and organizations throughout Volunteer Week.

How the Perk Pass Card works:

• Registered Colwood Community Group leaders will provide cards to their volunteers
• Volunteers can visit the participating locations (see full list below)
• Volunteers then present the Perk Pass Card to claim the perk
• The sponsoring business will put a sticker on the back of the card
• Each perk can be claimed once per location from April 27 to May 3 only
