Raising Resilience in Communities through connections
Here at Varsity Lakes Community Resource Centre, we believe in the importance of building the community together and empowering one another in times of difficulty. As part of our efforts to raise resilience in communities, we are actively seeking volunteers to support in the event of a disaster.
Last year's disaster was a big surprise, meaning not many communities were prepared for it.
As our immediate response, we quickly acted to open our local community centre to act as a hub for our communities who may have been affected by their homes being destroyed, power outages, telecommunication outages, or being in solitude.
This has shown us that it is now more important than ever to create a hub where people can gather during times of difficulty to support one another, stay connected, and work through it TOGETHER.
Unlike response teams or recovery teams, we are seeking fellow community members who are willing to volunteer when those situations occur by doing something as simple as giving out food, water, supplying power, or most importantly, being there to have a conversation, assuring that this will soon pass.
So if this is of any interest to you, please sign up to show your interest, and we will soon be in touch.
