Not-for-profit and Community Organizations

Local not-for-profit and community organizations are welcome to host an information or activity kiosk. Participation supports the event’s goal of encouraging greater community involvement, particularly among teenagers and young adults.

This is a unique opportunity for organizations to:

• Promote programs, services, and volunteer opportunities
• Interact with residents of all ages, including newcomers
• Connect and collaborate with other community organizations
• Help promote the richness and diversity of community life in the Township of Russell
