Lockeport thrives because of its volunteers. From emergency responders who answer the call at all hours to coaches who run youth sports, event organizers who bring the community together, and neighbours who simply lend a hand — volunteers are the heart of our town.
Whether you have a few hours a month or want to take on a bigger role, there’s a place for you.
