WRA Executive Positions for Volunteers

The WRA is an entirely volunteer organization with the aim to improve the quality of life in Wolseley & make Wolseley a healthier community!

Our constitution stipulates we've a minimum of 6 meeting per year. This is considered - 6 meetings, workshops, or forums per year  open to the general public of Wolseley residents.

Our WRA executive meets monthly the last Monday of each month.
The WRA in 2018 struck 4 issue committees that are led by volunteer chairs and are open to Wolseley residents that do the work of the WRA on community issues. There are also governance committees that work on communications, fundraising, & other functions like policy and by-laws.

Issues & initiatives as they arise are assigned to committees by the executive. The executive works as a team with any volunteer making recommendations or adding their skills to any area.

Volunteer Positions open for election at the AGM Oct 18, 2021 at 7pm, are
