Commissioner's update for offenders and their families: February 23, 2026

This content is a message to federal offenders and their families from Correctional Service Canada's (CSC's) Commissioner.

I would like to remind you that this is the final week to submit your art or poetry to thank a volunteer or an organization that has been supporting you through your journey. This is a chance to share a message from the heart and show your appreciation for the people who have helped you in big or small ways. Your work could be featured on CSC’s website during National Volunteer Week in April 2026, so others can see the positive impact volunteers have had on your journey

This is a great opportunity to celebrate the volunteers who give their time, energy, and care to make a difference in your life. Many volunteers come here week after week to offer support, understanding, and encouragement, and this is your moment to say “thank you” in your own way. Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate the volunteers who make a difference!

Talk to your Social Program Officer or other staff about how to participate. The submission deadline is February 28, 2026.

The art of appreciation begins with self appreciation.
