Are you looking for a flexible opportunity to volunteer, while seeing the real-life impact you're making? CNIB has the position for you!
As a Vision Mates, you are paired with a person who is blind or partially sighted to help with sighted tasks in their home, deliver groceries, or call to chat. Our current volunteers find this both easy (it feels like spending time with a friend) and flexible (visits/calls are scheduled between the volunteer and their match at a mutually convenient time). Training is provided.
We’re currently looking to match:
- Lorne, 80s, Falmouth, is looking for help with reading mail and going for walks on Tuesdays or Fridays. He’d also like the social time. He retired from working at a Gypsum Company after 31 years. He has knee problems and enjoys talking with people about daily life, the weather, and occasionally politics. He also enjoys the evening news and comedies like Three is Company.
- Robert, Berwick, is looking for a volunteer to reading mail, computer e-mails, and occasionally driving. He is a senior with age related vision loss and other health issues that have resulted in progressive loss of independence. His wife passed a year ago and he is a father of three who live in NS, but not close by. He enjoys talking about current affairs, family, sports, and the weather. He has hearing aids, but they may not always be worn. His daily schedule is very important due to Parkinson’s disease.Interested in volunteering for this position? Email jeff.deviller@cnib.ca and he'd be happy to answer any of your questions!

We are looking for people born between 1946-1965 to take part in a study of leisure, work, and life transitions.

As a participant in this study, you will be asked to participate in an online blog with others in your generation by sharing your experiences and perceptions of leisure, work, and your decision not to retire. Your participation would involve 4 sessions per year for three years, each of which is approximately two weeks. You will be asked to log on to the blog about 5 times in each session. You can create new posts and/or comment on the posts of others. If you volunteer to participate, you will be contacted by a researcher to help you set up an account and get comfortable navigating the blog. In appreciation for your time, you will receive a $50.00 gift card annually. For more information about this study, or to volunteer for this study, please contact: Rebecca Genoe Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at 306-585-4781 or Email: rebecca.genoe@uregina.ca.

I have lost my second home due to arson by the same person that burned down my property down in Canning while police and the courts and a local judge allow him to carry this on and on. Because I didn't have insurance on either I do without any help at all. No red cross no salvation arming or anyone else bothered due to police that try to shut me up. I won't be surprised if this is removed.
