Why this is the answer
From the official Discover Canada study guide — 1.4.5 Helping Others in the Community:
Millions of people in Canada give their time as volunteers. Nobody pays them; they simply choose to help. Volunteers support people in need, lend a hand at their child's school, work at a food bank or another charity, or encourage newcomers to settle in. Helping others is one of the responsibilities of citizenship. It also gives something back to the volunteer: practical skills, new friends and useful contacts. So volunteering helps the community and the volunteer at the same time.
