Our volunteers have been making a difference in the lives of Canadians through their generous contributions of time, skill and commitment. However, millions of us are still at risk and will be for generations to come. There is still so much to do and there are so many ways to help. The Heart and Stroke Foundation relies on volunteers with a wide variety of skills. Put your expertise to work through one of our many volunteer opportunities.
