The last Saturday in April was recognized as provincial Hospital Auxiliary Day one year ago by PEI Premier Robert Ghiz. The PEIAHA was presented with a certificate to acknowledge the honour.
Thank you to all our volunteers for providing your time and efforts to help your auxiliary raise funds for their hospitals.

Why We Should Record Our Volunteer Hours
I came across this information in my reading and I thought it was interesting
because of what is tells us about how important it is to record our volunteer hours.
~ Linda Patterson-Gibson
"Here’s to Volunteers! Statistics Canada reports that in 2010 nearly 23 million Canadians (84% of the over-15 crowd) donated a total of $10.6 billion to charities while 13.3 million volunteered 2.1 billion hours at their time and expense - the equivalent of a years’ worth of hours for 1.1 million full-time jobs."
