CKUA would like
to take this time to give an extra shout out to our amazing, loyal and
wonderful CKUA volunteers. From the
bottoms of our hearts: Thank-you!
The CKUA
volunteers are the cornerstone of our fundraisers, board members, our
ambassadors at events/festivals and provide administrative support to many
areas including FDO, volunteer management, Marketing etc. Without your
efforts in the numerous roles you play, CKUA would not exist as it is today and
for that we are forever grateful.
Volunteer Fun Facts:
-In 2010-11, 72.3% of adult Albertans indicated that
they did at least one type of
volunteer work.
-volunteering for an arts or cultural organization, a
performance or multi-cultural event, an art exhibition or a heritage society
(17.6%)
-According to the 2003 National Survey of non-profit
and Voluntary Organization
(NSNVO), there are approximately 19,000 non-profit and
voluntary organizations in Alberta, which account for about 12% of the 161,000 non-profit and voluntary
organizations in Canada.
-Albertans have a rich history of
volunteering and community involvement. With over 1.4 million dedicating their
time across Alberta’s communities every year, volunteers are leading positive
change on all fronts: community health care, sports and recreation, heritage,
radio and arts, environmental protection & advocacy, disaster relief and
international development – the list is endless. The
work of volunteers is essential to maintaining resilient communities at home
and around the world.
