Volunteering in Mississauga?

Question

I'm moving temporarily to Mississauga and am wondering if the city has some sort of pseudo-central agency which accepts volunteer postings on behalf of organizations. I'm looking for a place to volunteer but find that I don't know where to start looking (I'm not moving there to May, and live too far away to physically check things out). Thanks!

There's also this government sponsored site, http://volunteer.gov/gov/ which provides volunteer positions through USA federal land agencies like Fish & Wildlife, Forest Service, National Parks, etc.
