Volunteer

When seniors can remain independent in their homes, they can stay in touch with their community and loved-ones.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering is a great way to connect with your community and meet others, share your skills and knowledge, keep up your employable skills while job searching, build resiliency and more. Opportunities include:

Friendly visiting
Walking and outings
Gardening
Reading and writing assistance
Computer support
Organizing assistance
Minor home repairs
Dog walking
Medical and errand drives
Grocery shopping

Becoming A Volunteer

If a volunteer opportunity is offered to you, references and a Vulnerable Sector Police Information Check will be required.

All drivers who volunteer must have a class 5 license, a clear Driver’s Abstract and $2-million dollars in third party liability insurance.

Once all administration is complete, new volunteers are provided with an orientation prior to starting their volunteer work.
