It’s National Volunteer Week 2026!
During this week, we’re celebrating our team of volunteers who help make our passengers feel welcome at Pearson. Our Welcome Team includes 300 dedicated volunteers who serve as part of the main program, the Junior Ambassador Program and the Therapy Dog Program in conjunction with St. John Ambulance.
The theme for this year’s National Volunteer Week is “Ignite Volunteerism,” which celebrates the ways in which people in Canada have ignited volunteerism in their communities. The United Nations has also declared 2026 the International Volunteer Year.
Ignited by their passion and kindness, our Welcome Team volunteers play an important role at Pearson by assisting passengers with directions and answering questions, and ensuring travellers feel at ease while passing through our airport.
We are incredibly grateful to our volunteers – thank you!
