Our Volunteers:

"Your Saturna Rec Centre Society appreciates - and would like to recognize- the many people who volunteer to organize, set-up, host, serve, play and clean up for the activities that we all enjoy at the Rec Centre. We want to graciously thank you for your assistance, because without you, this community would not be able to enjoy all the facilities offered at our fantastic Rec Centre.   THANK YOU!"
