Give-A-Day, Get-A-Disney-Day

The St. Stephen Volunteer Centre recently adopted the Give-A-Day, Get-A-Disney-Day program in partnership with Volunteer Canada and Disney World.

The Give-A-Day, Get-A-Disney-Day program offered one ticket per person for free admission to Disney World in Florida. Participants were required to complete a day of verified volunteer service with a participating non-profit organization.

The program was open to adults and children. One million free passes were presented by Disney to volunteers across the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada in two months in 2010, fulfilling the goal of the program for this year.

The Volunteer Centre of Charlotte County, established in 1982, encourages volunteerism and the sharing of information about community needs.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may contact a centre at 506-466-4995 in St. Stephen.

With the summer months quickly approaching, those leisurely Sunday drives can quickly become a pain with lots of road construction going on around the province.

Well the provnicial government is launching a website to help alleviate those concerns.

Transportation Minister Denis Landry says the tool will allow commuters, tourists and businesspeople the opportunity to take a look at all road work being done aroudn the province to help plan their trips.

The website will feature a project map, with icons giving information on current construction, future projects, as well as recently completed jobs.
