National Volunteer Week National Volunteer Week was first proclaimed in 1943. Women's Voluntary Services in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver organized special events to draw the public's attention to the vital contribution women made to the war effort on the home front.In the late 1960s, the idea of a designated week to honour volunteers was revived, and the focus was broadened to include all community volunteers. During the 1970s and 1980s this special week grew in importance with local volunteer centres. In
1990, the third week in April was proclaimed National Volunteer
Week in all communities Future
