As SnakeEye pointed out, Volunteer Alberta doesn' get that much. It actually is not the same type of organization as Volunteer Calgary (which BTW has a web database of volunteer opportunities) - it was more of a volunteerism promotion organization.
I actually have to agree to some extent with the government (blechhh!
). Vol AB always seemed useless to me, as did Canada. Vol. Initiative. I am really sick and tired of poorly-run and useless non-profits.
Having met Karen Lynch, I would suggest asking Vol. AB to refund the money to the government for the past three years.
