Voluntary service is one of Canadian Red Cross' Fundamental Principles. Walk me through your volunteer experience and how that has helped shape you.

"I would be more than happy to! From a young age, my parents had my brothers and me volunteering at the local animal shelter and I've become a very big proponent of Humane Canada's mission. This is a value I'm passing along to my children, where we come into our local shelter to walk animals and play with them. When we can, we drop off toys and food around the holidays as well. Today, my husband and I also volunteer at the Calgary Drop-In Centre, where we help serve meals to adults who are experiencing homelessness. It is very rewarding and the smiles on their faces make us walk away happy and fulfilled every time."
