National Volunteer Week 2015 is running from April 12th to April 18th. This is a time to recognize, celebrate and thank the thousands of Canadians who dedicate their time to volunteering. In honour of this celebration, Lang Pioneer Village Museum would like to recognize some of its Volunteer Superstars in a special daily blog post during this week, called the Volunteer Superstar Series.
Tuesday’s Volunteer Superstar is: Lucas.

He is a quick learner, and has picked up various roles within the Village with ease. Lucas has shown tremendous commitment when helping in the Print Shop, during Special Events and with other duties as asked of him. He is currently learning the Admissions/ Museum Shop Attendant role under the direction of the Visitor Experience Coordinator. He is a mature, friendly and reliable first point of contact for our visitors on site.
Lucas has far exceeded not only his community volunteer hours for school, but our expectations as well!
He has become a valuable member of the Lang Pioneer Village Museum team and we look forward to another year of his smiling face helping out.
Thank you so much, Lucas, for all that you do!
