Edmonton Chamber of Voluntary Organizations

Thank you to everyone who joined us at InVESt last Friday!

We were excited to welcome Doug Tweddle and BFL CANADA for an in-depth conversation on how to ensure your volunteers are covered when things go wrong.

We look forward to seeing you all at the next InVESt session!
