Be a Community Leader

BDCANS created enormous scope for voluntary activities and leadership development. The Council has made great strides in many areas and addressed many of its challenges, which would be difficult without the help of community volunteers. Our volunteers worked hard with undying hope and motivation to promote our culture in Nova Scotia. This would not be possible without the tireless effort, time investment, and never-ending commitment of our community volunteers. BDCANS present “BDCANS Voluntary Service Award” to dedicated volunteers every year in the Boishaki Event in recognition of their outstanding contributions. 

To show your leadership through community volunteering, please contact: bdcans2017@gmail.com
