An important message from Volunteer Canada President Marlene Deboisbriand

Volunteerism in Canada has come under serious threat this week; the federal government eliminated funding for the Canada Volunteerism Initiative. This cutting of $9.7 million directly affects many voluntary sector organizations, including Volunteer Canada, who have worked for the past five years to promote volunteerism in Canada and support Canadian volunteers.

These cuts were made without consultation or warning. We are particularly surprised that the Canada Volunteerism Initiative has been cut as a "non-core program" - a program that does not "meet the priorities of the federal government or Canadians." More than 12 million Canadians provide 2 billion hours of volunteer work annually. Volunteerism is very much a priority for Canadians.

Volunteer Canada is currently working with stakeholders and members to develop a strategy that responds to this disappointing decision. We primarily want to ensure that the federal government continues to support volunteerism in some way. We would welcome an opportunity to discuss ways in which both the voluntary sector's priorities and the priorities of the federal government might be met.

Over the coming days and weeks we'll use a special section of volunteer.ca to keep you informed on developments and to let you know how you can help us protect volunteerism in Canada.

Marlene Deboisbriand
President, Volunteer Canada
