Bill 285 2021

Act to proclaim Non-Profit Sector Appreciation Week

Preamble

Ontario’s

non-profit sector is a major contributor to economic growth, innovation and job

creation. Its one million professionals, driven by their mission, are experts

in delivering social, economic and environmental solutions, especially at the local

community level. They enrich our quality of life by promoting mental and

physical health, social equity, education, the arts, sports and recreation, the

environment, child development, senior care and much more. They serve millions

of Ontarians every year in every corner of the province.

Their

work is indispensable and heroic, but unlike police, firefighters and medical

personnel, it is all too often invisible. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted

the remarkable contributions of the essential services provided by the non-profit

sector, which relies on funding and volunteers. Their public service deserves

to be recognized and honoured.

Therefore,

Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of

the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

Non-Profit

Sector Appreciation Week

The

third week in October

each

year is proclaimed as Non-Profit Sector Appreciation Week.

Commencement

This Act comes into force on the day it receives Royal Assent.

Short

title

The

short title of this Act is the Non-Profit

Sector Appreciation Week Act, 2021 .
