To the Editor:
We are surrounded by events that rely on the thankless efforts of volunteers, and Canadian Western Agribition is no exception.
Every local rink, school or charity of your choice depends on the selfless efforts of a volunteer. As one of the newest members to the CWA team, it is humbling to see the commitment volunteers give to an event like Agribition.
Each year, Agribition has hundreds of volunteers who help make our event an annual success. Without the help of every volunteer, our event wouldn’t happen. To put this in perspective, over 380 men and women give their personal time to put on an annual event that contributes $27 million to the Saskatchewan economy. There are few other events hosted by unpaid personnel that leave such a mark on our province.
In this day and age, when volunteering is being lost in the hustle and bustle of a busy life, it makes the significance of volunteers in our community even more relevant. I would like to sincerely thank all of our volunteers.
