All right pal, now you're just milking it.

I noticed that Thade posted about volunteering earlier. I couldn’t agree with him more that volunteering is one of the most fulfilling things you can do in this life.

I volunteer pretty frequently myself. On Tuesdays, I give post-workout rub downs to the competitive Canadian Hot Girl team. Thursdays, I do unpaid stand-up comedy at the local funeral home. Saturdays, I stand on the boulevard of a local street and yell at speeding drivers as they zoom by. Nobody asks me to do that last one, but I feel the difference I am making with every obscenity and hard object thrown in my direction.

I know it can be hard to kick yourself in the ass and do some good in the community, so I found some sites for a few major Canadian cities to start you in the right direction. The following are volunteer websites for Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. I also tried to locate a volunteering website for Flin Flon, Manitoba, but they did not have one. You better ship up or shape out, Flin Flon!

Start volunteering today and you will make a difference, make some new friendships, and make money.

Wait, no. You won’t make money.

Sorry.
