Over the past months, we've consulted with volunteers and put on our brainstorming hats to create this series of creative and informative workshops and activities. Get ready for everything from fun bonding experiences to much-requested training to expert speakers thrilled to meet you!
We are excited to offer free admission for our volunteers and a bursary to help with costs associated with attending the Volunteer Retreat. We genuinely appreciate the dedication you bring as advocates and while a bursary may not cover all of your expenses, we hope that it will help with your travel and accommodation. Our goal is to ensure that you can focus on the experience of the retreat and the connections you make with each other.
There are different levels of bursaries for residents of different provinces and regions in Canada:
| Province/Region | Maximum Bursary |
| Ontario, Quebec | $500 |
| Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Maritimes (NS, NB, PEI) | $700 |
| British Columbia, Alberta, the North (YK, NWT, NU), Newfoundland and Labrador | $1,000 |
You must:
Not everyone who applies is guaranteed a bursary or the full amount requested.
Priority will be given to volunteers who have never attended a Results’ National Conference and/or to ensure equity and fair geographical/group representation.
If you meet the criteria above and would like to apply for a bursary to attend the National Conference, please apply by March 31, 2025 at 11:00pm.
If you have any questions, please contact action@resultscanada.ca.
