Happy National Volunteer Week!


Ontario Lacrosse is a community built on its membership — and at its core are the thousands of volunteers whose tireless efforts at the grassroots level form the foundation of our game.

That includes you.

Whether you're coaching, managing, organizing or leading your club forward — your dedication continues to shape our sport and create ripples that reach far beyond the floor and field.

This year's theme, “Volunteers Make Waves,” celebrates the momentum created by individual and collective acts of service. Each volunteer contributes something unique, and together we build stronger, more resilient communities through lacrosse.

Want to customize the OLA National Volunteer Week graphic for your club? We've created it as a Canva template so you can easily drop in your own photos, adjust the colours, and add your club's logo.

Access the template here.

Thank you for making waves in the lives of our athletes, families, and future leaders — and for all you do to grow the game across the province. ?
