DescriptionA metal volunteer pin for the 2023 Canada Games. At the top left is a maple leaf-like logo with “PEI – IPE / 2023 / Jeux Du / Canada Games” to the right in green and black font. At the center are four figures, two red, one blue, one green, each holding a yellow star above their head and with a green heart positioned just above their heads. Below are two large blue hands which look as if they are embracing the four figures. On the left wrist is “Benevole” and on the right wrist is “Volunteer”. The back of the pin is silver with two, winged, circular backs for each of the pointed pins which are positioned above each other. At the center of the back is a rectangular makers mark with a large “A” above it. The pin is stored in a small, rectangular plastic bag with black font for “Laurie / Artiss / The Pin / People / 1-800-667-8168 / www.ineedpins.com” with seven logos beneath. Narrative
