We are seeking **Volunteer Friendly Visitors **for our long-term care home Our Volunteer Friendly Visitors work closely with our Recreation Team. They visit with residents on a one-to-one basis to enhance their quality of life and overall well-being by engaging them in conversation and activities.

We welcome high school and university students who require volunteer hours for course work or admittance to post-secondary education. (Students must be at least 14 years of age.)

- If resident becomes tired, bring them back to their room.
- Prior to leaving residents room, let them know when you will be returning.
- Notify Recreation and Volunteer Manager if your schedule changes or if you are no longer available for friendly visits. Sometimes relationships raise issues that a volunteer would like to discuss with someone, and the Manager of Recreation & Volunteers is available for this type of discussion.
