Out and About Waterloo Region’s Project Volunteer brought a group to Waterloo’s Winterloo Festival this past Saturday, January 24. The volunteers braved the cold and helped out with line management and getting parents to sign up their kids for the Dog Sledding Adventure. Hana ensured kids were safe and gave them some encouragement when they were nervous to try out the sled ride. David kept things in order making sure people knew where to sign up and where to line up properly. “It was a lot of fun seeing the kids having fun and getting to pet the dogs too,” Hana described. The Winterloo organizers were great at making sure we had lots of opportunities to take a break inside and warm up. When asked why he likes to volunteer, David said, “I like to get out of the house and it’s fun.” You can learn more about Out and About Waterloo Region by clicking below.
