<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I hope you are well! Each year ACIC, in partnership with Nova Scotia’s Department of Communities, Culture, and Heritage, celebrates
<b>International Volunteer Day</b> to honor the importance of volunteer work both at home and abroad. This year we are switching gears to celebrate in a way that will be safe and engaging for everyone. We are creating and launching an E-Gallery on our website
which will showcase photojournalism projects submitted by volunteers across Atlantic Canada! Join us at our launch event next week to view some of these presentations & to share what volunteering means to you! </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The event will feature 7 brief presentations from selected photojournalists who will talk about their 2020 volunteering experiences and how volunteering locally can have global impacts. The event
also features a volunteer-themed trivia game (with exciting prizes!) and break out rooms to have discussions with other participants. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
