On Thursday, March 20, Tourism Saskatchewan hosted a webinar, Strategies for Recruiting and Retaining Great Volunteers, featuring Saskatchewan’s Lieutenant Governor, Bernadette McIntyre, a seasoned expert in volunteering. McIntyre shared her insights into how she has brought volunteers together to run the many large events she has coordinated over the years. Growing up in a small community, her parents were always involved in the community, helping out at the curling rink, the skating rink, the ball diamonds, or the church, and so volunteering has always been a way of life for her. Although she spoke primarily about volunteers for events, many of the same principles can benefit community organizations looking to build their volunteer ranks.
