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:
- Nova, 80s, enjoys church, going for short walks, reading romantic books and biographies, and visiting with her 7 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. She is a retired teacher and used to do crafts. She is looking for a female volunteer to walk beside her just to make sure she’s not missing a step. She explained, “I just want to get the confidence to walk like I used to and get myself out.” She’d also like help with shopping and reading. She has some hearing loss especially if a person speaks fast and low.
- JJ, 40s, has a cat and would like help with reading, sending letters, and learning computer skills. He’d also enjoy the visits.
- Peggy, 70s, is looking for someone to help her walk on an indoor track and practice using her white cane (specific training will be provided).Interested in volunteering for this position? Email jeff.deviller@cnib.ca and he'd be happy to answer any of your questions!

How has the pandemic impacted your health and wellbeing? What has been helpful and what has not been helpful for your mental health?
Researchers from the University of Victoria are participating in a global collaboration to study the psychological impact of the pandemic and lockdown. We are asking people to complete a short questionnaire to better understand how the pandemic is affecting us all and its impact on our day to day lifestyle. We hope to find out what is helpful for people during this time and also what may be causing some people to be affected more than others in terms of their wellbeing.
Can you spare 15 minutes to help? Even if you filled out the 1st wave of this survey (Aug - Oct 2020), please also fill out this NEW 2nd WAVE of our survey! Click on the link to the questionnaire for more information: https://bit.ly/3828qkJ or scan the QR code.

Study Title: How do you feel about Covid-19?
Eligibility Requirements: Seeking individuals who are 17 years or older who can read and write well in English to partake in a two-part study. This study examines the psychological and behavioral responses to Covid-19 and examining the potential benefits of expressive writing on processing and coping with challenges posed by Covid-19.
Study description: The objective of this two-phase study is to examine the relationship between personality characteristics and life circumstances on coping responses to the 2019 Coronavirus (Covid-19). For phase 1, participants will complete an online questionnaire. The online questionnaire will ask questions about participants’ current life circumstances (e.g., employment status and type, how they are currently affected by Covid-19), their mental health status (e.g., anxiety, depression), how they cope with negative life events or challenges, and how they feel about the future. The second phase of the study will consist of completing daily online expressive writing activities for fourteen consecutives days. Participants will be asked to reflect on things that occurred earlier that day, while following guides to help them reflect on these events. The second phase of the study will also consist of completing three follow-up online questionnaires (2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after completing the writing program). Enrollment in phase 2 of the study requires the completion of the online questionnaire for phase 1. If participants are interested in enrolling in phase 2, they will have the opportunity to provide us with their email address to commence phase 2. This study has received ethical approval by the ethics board at the University of Ottawa.
Duration: The first phase of the study will take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. For the second phase of the study, each writing entry will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete with the exception of the first session, which will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Each follow-up survey will take approximately 30-40 minutes to complete.
Benefits: The opportunity to engage in self-reflection and learn techniques that could help process and cope with challenges caused by Covid-19.
Compensation: The opportunity to win one of four 50$ money orders. Each writing session completed will correspond to the number of chances you will have to win one of four money prizes in a draw.
Contact: If participants have any questions about our research, they are encouraged to contact the research assistant (Kheana Barbeau, kbarb006@uottawa.ca).

Navicare/SoinsNavi is a patient navigation centre for children and youth with health care needs and their families in New Brunswick. A key component of the centre is our patient and family advisory council (PFAC), which consists of 7 volunteer members who advise the patient navigator and research team, as well as collaborates on special projects that arise from discussions with key stakeholders. Examples of projects led by the PFAC include a Journey Map, which is a visual aid developed to assist families with navigating the system from the moment of diagnosis; peer support videos that share stories about navigating the system; and a workshop for care providers and other caregivers of children with health care needs. PFAC members are often invited to participate in other related workshops, public outreach events, and conferences.
NaviCare/SoinsNavi is looking for a dynamic individual to join the PFAC. The position is a one (1) year renewable term beginning January 4, 2020. We are seeking someone with significant lived experience receiving services within the healthcare system as a youth with health needs, or as a parent, guardian, or other involved family member. The PFAC meets monthly in a virtual setting along with an in-person annual meeting in the spring.
If you are interested in becoming part of the PFAC, or know someone who would be a good fit, please reach out to cric@unb.ca. We look forward to hearing from you.

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.

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:
- Mary, 75, Big Pond, comfortable with any gender/age volunteer. Looking for a volunteer caller to talk to someone about anything under the sun. If possible, it would be nice to have an in-person match to go for walks or have a cup of tea with, however she would be thrilled to simply have a phone call. -Very easy-going and flexible, extremely accommodating with regards to a scheduled time.
- Robert, 70s, Ingonish, likes talking about music, philosophy, and spirituality. He’d like help reading mail and books, organizing, going for walks, and socializing.
- George, 60s, New Waterford, would like a female visitor weekday afternoons to help with reading, going for walks, and socializing. He describes himself as a “pretty good fella” and enjoys books, magazines (MacLeans, Canadian Geographic), wrestling shows, outer space movies, and going to Tim Hortons and the library. He has some hearing loss and needs someone who will speak slowly.
- Faith, 50s, Port Hawkesbury, wants a call twice a week in the evening (local calling). She likes to joke around and is easy to talk to. She enjoys knitting, reading, baking, and spending time with her cat. She’d like an older female volunteer, who would help with organizing, grocery shopping, and going for walks. She wears a hearing aid so annunciating will be important.
- Christina, 40s, Port Hawkesbury, is looking for someone to go for walks with so that she can practice using her white cane and become more independent. She’s not looking for a sighted guide, but rather someone who can provide assistance if/when needed. She enjoys listening to audio books.
- Michelle, 70s, Sydney, would like help shopping, going for walks, and completing paper work. She enjoys crafts, books, computers, and spending time with her grandchildren.
- Peter, 40s, Sydney, is a new parent who would like someone to exercise and jog with. He is interested in movies, shows, music, the news, his community, current affairs, sports, and reading. Weekends and Friday work best.
- John, 60s, Sydney, would like a female volunteer to help with reading, organizing, and going for walks to coffee or to the pharmacy. He has a cat and enjoys gardening, talking about travel, and listening to CBC.Interested in volunteering for this position? Email jeff.deviller@cnib.ca and he'd be happy to answer any of your questions!

Study Title: How everyday experiences contribute to ethnic minority individuals’ wellbeing
Eligibility Requirements: Seeking individuals who are 16 years or older who can read and write well in English and who identify as ethnic minorities (e.g., Black/African-Canadians, Indigenous Canadians, East Asians) to partake in a two-part study.
Study description: The objective of this two-phase study is to examine the relationship between coping responses to everyday challenges and wellbeing. For phase 1, participants will complete an online questionnaire. The online questionnaire will ask participants questions about their mental health status (e.g., anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress symptoms) and how they cope with negative life events or challenges. The second phase of the study will consist of completing daily expressive writing activities for seven consecutive days. Participants will be asked to reflect on things that occurred earlier that day, while following guides to help them reflect on these events. The second phase of the study will also consist of completing four follow-up online questionnaires, one immediately after the writing activities have ended and three at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after completing the writing program. Enrollment in phase 2 of the study requires the completion of the online questionnaire for phase 1. If participants are interested in enrolling in phase 2, they will have the opportunity to provide us with their email address to commence phase 2. This study has received ethical approval by the ethics board at the University of Ottawa.
Duration: The first phase of the study will take approximately 1 hour to complete. The second phase of the study will take approximately 10-15 minutes a day for seven days and approximately 1 hour for each follow up survey.
Benefits: The opportunity to engage in self-reflection and learn techniques that could help process and cope with challenges.
Compensation: For phase 2, you will have the opportunity to win one of four $50 money orders. Each writing session and follow-up survey completed will correspond to the number of chances you will have to win one of four money prizes in a draw (i.e., if you complete 7/7 writing exercises and 4/4 follow-up surveys, you will have 11 entries into the draw).
Contact: If participants have any questions about our research, they are encouraged to contact the research assistant (Kayla Boileau, kboil070@uottawa.ca).
