Charity sector faces unprecedented challenges, leaders tell volunteers

Charity sector faces unprecedented challenges, leaders tell volunteers: "Every year, about 22 million Canadians donate a total of $9 billion to charitable causes, while a smaller number offer two billion hours of volunteer time, said Teri Kirk, vice-president of Imagine Canada, an advocacy group for non-profit organizations. Still, there is little legislation regulating, nor a minister responsible for, the voluntary sector, she said."
