Volunteer in Monte Lake, B.C.What MDS Is Doing
In collaboration with the B.C. unit, we are rebuilding four new homes in the small community. Many volunteers of all skill levels will be needed for this project, which will run from May until fall. In addition to the traditional site in Monte Lake, there will be a small RV site located 70kms from Monte Lake. This site will run from mid-July through September. Contact MDS Canada for more information about the traditional and RV sites, or to sign up to serve.
