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. While many baby boomers have begun to retire, others are unable to retire or are choosing not to retire for a variety of reasons. If this sounds like you, we want to learn from you. 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. This study has been reviewed and received approval through the Research Ethics Board, University of Regina.

Hello and welcome to my space!
Some people fail in their degree programs because the "rat race" gets in the way of their studies. I am here to prevent that from happening. There are a lot of shady paper-writing individuals/websites out there, but you’ve found a good one. Life gets easier fast with a reliable Academic Helper.
Below are my areas of strength:
MBA
Nursing
Medical science
Law
Humanities
Computer science
English language
PsychologyTotally, I cover 20+ subjects. And, I network with experts from many academic disciplines, so I can help with almost any project: Business, Nursing, English, History, Biology, Education, Psychology, IT & Computer Science, Social Science, Art/Design, Law, Organizational Leadership, Public Administration, and even some of the ‘hard’ sciences. I can write about specific business concepts, including: Strategic Management, Marketing, Economics, Leadership Theory, Corporate Social Responsibility, Management Studies, International Business, Global HRM, Internet Marketing, Intellectual Property Law, and many others.
Contact me with questions about your Literature Review, Discussion Posts, or a paper for your online class. No obligation – I'll be glad to connect with you and exchange some emails.

I wouldn't mind finding a decent Bassist and Drummer to jam out Metal, Hard Rock, and Rock, in the Annapolis Valley area, once or twice a week. Maybe do a gig here and there, for people that are interested, not for bar owners that want to sell beer. I'm a 57 yr old guitarist/vocalist in Aylesford, and am looking for a couple decent players to have some fun and maybe play out. Age is not an issue; you just have to be able to play. 902-844-2299

Helping an Addict or Alcoholic and Keeping Your Sanity
To solve a problem one must first understand the problem. Unfortunately, that's hard to do with addiction and alcoholism because it makes no sense. Why do people keep on with their substance use when it's ruining their life and making them miserable?
Ironically, most people who try to help an addict become too involved in the problem, which may do more harm than good. They get drawn into the addict's circle of chaos, and end up participating in the addiction by being enablers. This creates chaos and insanity in their own life, and does nothing to stop the addiction.
Introducing “Understanding and Helping an Addict (and keeping your sanity),” a new release from Recovery Folio Publishing, now available on amazon.ca (see link below).
In this important book, medical doctor and addiction survivor Dr. Andrew Proulx - a leading expert on addiction psychology - explains the effects of addictive substances on the brain and mind, and why addicts and alcoholics behave the way they do.
Dr. Andrew then goes on to explain exactly how form a bond with an addicted loved one and to use this bond to help the addict to move to a willingness and mental readiness to accept the help they need. He then explains your role in your loved ones treatment and subsequent recovery and relapse prevention.
Dr. Andrew provides guidance for loved ones of addicts to remove themselves from the addict's circle of chaos and to take a different approach to helping the addict that's more effective, and also allows them to take back their own life and sanity.
