Standout Volunteers

“I think sustainability is awesome,” says Karen Lebrun (pictured here, centre, with Regional Campaign Manager Allison Fitzgerald, left, and Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator Laura Leet, right). “Everyone should know about it.”

Someone recently told Brockville’s Audrey Beedie (pictured here) that they hope to be able to accomplish as much as she does by the time they reach 72. That would be an impressive feat. But Audrey is actually about to turn 87.

You’re never too old to make a change. And, as Burlington, Ontario’s Kendall and Riley Mills (pictured here, left to right) recently proved, you’re never too young, either.

On September 15, Kendall brought her 14-month-old son Riley to the Burlington Mall Farmers’ Market to volunteer for One Change’s digital tire gauge blitz.

They say all good things come to an end. And so the One Change: Fuel pilot campaign came to an end on September 28 with our volunteer appreciation party at Bella Vista restaurant—“Home of Ottawa’s Finest Pizza.”

This summer, Jonathan Chow (pictured here) decided he wanted to find a way to give back to his community. That’s not so unusual in and of itself. But Jonathan is only 10 years old. His online search led him to the One Change website where he learned about our One Change: Fuel campaign.

Knowledge is power. So Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau (pictured here, second from right, with One Change: Fuel staff) believes, and he intends to share his knowledge with the rest of the community.

“One small change in your lifestyle; one huge difference in your life.” Those are words that Blaine Pinch (pictured here) lives by, and they’ve gotten him very far. To be precise, they’ve gotten him 42.2 km.

Grade 10 Notre Dame High School student Kassandra Gagné (pictured here) wants to get out and experience the world firsthand. As far as she’s concerned, it’s the only way to learn how she can make a difference. She applies that philosophy to discovering everything—from the classes and music she likes, to the best way she can give back to the community.
