Family Volunteer
Canuck Place Children's Hospice
2001 - Current (25 years 4 months)
My role as a Family Volunteer is to work alongside the
professional care team at Canuck Place Children's Hospice to enhance the quality of life of the child with a progressive
life-threatening illness and his/her family.
Family volunteers are with the children during activities, in
the schoolroom, working with arts and crafts, on outing in the community and generally are there to support the child and family with whatever they need.
I also do a variety of charity events that Canuck Place hosts
such as the Gift of Time Gala, the main fundraiser for the hospice, and the Ice and Dice fundraiser, as well as baking and decorating cookies with the kids at the hospice on special
occasions such as Halloween and Christmas. I was approved
