For kinesiology professor Chad Sutherland, the phrase “volunteer work” is a misnomer.
“I don’t really view it as work,” he says.
“I view it as something everyone should be doing: getting involved and helping in the things that you love to do, whether that’s bringing expertise to an area or offering an extra set of hands. It’s all important, and we need it more than ever right now.”

Twice a week, Cimarosti, 66, attends the Cardiac Wellness Program at the Toldo Lancer Centre (TLC), working on his heart health alongside others who have gone through similar experiences.
“My cardiologist always gives me great reports,” he shared. “At every check-in, he tells me everything looks good and that he’ll see me next year. I like hearing that.”
