Upcoming Events

Recognizing and Managing Stress

Date:Thursday, November 27, 2025
Time: 7:00 - 8:30 PM ADT
Location: Virtual Workshop
Hosted By: Kings Volunteer Resource Centre

Hands up! Who is a feeling a little stressed right now?

There’s no denying that we are living in unprecedented times. Whether you are an employee, volunteer, manager, CEO, mother, father, student, retiree or world traveller, we all feel stress and react to it. Recognizing and handling stress in a productive and positive way is a critical life skill.

This workshop will focus on understanding how the brain and body react to stress and how a few effective activities can dial down those feelings of anxiety, tension and exasperation.

Having strategies can help in any situation and practicing them regularly can help make the workplace and home easier to navigate on a daily basis.

On The Road Again

Volunteer Canada and Volunteer Nova Scotia are hitting the road again this fall, organizing table talks across Nova Scotia. 

This time we are asking volunteers and nonprofit managers to bring us their wish lists.

What types of resources would benefit your organization the most? What are the barriers you are facing in your organization? What kinds of tools and resources could make your work easier? Help us to better serve you.

Consultations are happening in Sydney, at the James McConnell Library Community Room from 10-12 on Nov 3rd, and Nov 4th in Antigonish at the community room at the Antigonish Town and County Library from 10- 12 on Nov 4.
