Bill 9 2021

Act to proclaim Non-Profit Sector Appreciation Week

Preamble

Ontario’s

non-profit sector is a major contributor to innovation, job creation and the

economy. 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 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 February

each year is proclaimed as Non-Profit Sector Appreciation Week.
