As the old saying goes “It takes a Village” and in this case it takes passionate volunteers to make our community the incredible place to live that it is. We know that everyone has busy lives and appreciate when anyone can contribute to our community. We want to thank Neil van der Wissel and Sarah Geddes who have done a great job for us in their respective roles of Treasurer and Communications Director and are now looking to pass those roles on to other passionate volunteers. In addition, there are a number of other opportunities listed below that we encourage community members to consider to support our amazing neighbourhood. The EPRA volunteer openings are as follows:
