It is one of the largest groups of Volunteers, comprising 21 members.

Three teams are connected due to the death of two leaders. This is a significant responsibility and challenge to meet. During the pledging period, seven homes were visited, three team meetings were held in Ottawa, Rockland and Gatineau, and two people in North Bay and Maniwaki were contacted by telephone or mail. The average age is 85.

L’Étincelle nourishes us, and the Zooms for the Volunteers are invaluable for sharing ideas. We try to meet once a month.

Here are some of the treasures of our group: one person has been a member of the Volunteers for 55 years, another for 44 years, and another for 39 years.
