Message from Minister Michael Chan

Now that this year's Challenge is over, I would like to share with you all how very excited I am about the results. Close to 6,000 young people across the province volunteered during National Volunteer Week! What a great success!

Many thanks to everyone involved -- our youth advisory committee, the celebrities who supported the Challenge, volunteer centres, the Ontario Volunteer Centre Network, participating schools and non-profit agencies. We could not have accomplished so much without all your hard work!

I look forward to hearing your feedback throughout the year and working with you to make next year's Challenge better than ever!
