At the December 13, 2021 meeting of Council, the NPSRC Report regarding The Non-Profit Sector in Brock was received, and Council approved the continuation of the advisory committee. The Committee and staff will continue to work together to address the recommendations contained within their report. 


The Non-Profit Sector Review Committee recognizes the importance of volunteerism within the Township of Brock. The community is fortunate to have so many hardworking and dedicated volunteers committed to providing services and special events in the community. Events like Brock’s Big Bite, The Haunted Trail and the Sunderland Maple Syrup Festival would not be possible without the dedicated volunteers who plan and organize all the details of these events. Similarly many programs and improvement projects in the community are completed by volunteer organizations.

 

In the Spring of 2021, the NPSRC surveyed non-profit organizations in Brock to gather feedback on how the Township can better support these organizations. One of the most common trends across the surveys was lack of or declining members and volunteers. The committee is now seeking feedback from residents with regards to volunteerism. Please fill out the Volunteer Survey and provide your thoughts.
