I do voluntary work at my youngest kids' school in both their classes and also as a member of a parent's task force. It's lots of fun, I have met other parents and we get free coffee and doughnuts too!! It also looks good on your resume and makes you feel you are putting something back into the community that has been so welcoming.

Plus it's providing a good insight into school life in Canada for when I return to work as a Special Needs TA, hopefully early next year.

Our eldest daughter does a night a month at a soup kitchen in Calgary and tomorrow is volunteering at a Girls' Sports Event at the local leisure centre. (she has to complete a certain number of hours of voluntary work to graduate next summer)
