Join Mickey's club

If you're Canadian, you can give a little, get a lot – of Mickey Mouse.

The new "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" promotion from Disney Parks offers a free one-day admission to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida or Disneyland in California in return for one day of volunteering, reports thestar.com

Through Volunteer Canada, you can sign up for work at volunteer centres and more than 160,000 non-profit agencies.

Many of the projects are family-friendly, and the only stipulation for "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" says helpers must be at least six years old. The program starts Jan. 1 and a list of available volunteer projects can be found at www.disneyparks.ca. You must pre-register and ticket quantities are limited. Disney is looking for 1 million volunteers for this promotion.

So get out there and get volunteering.
