Volunteers are the Life Blood of Our Organization
While we need few volunteers, they play an important role with the Society. Most of our positions work with the members (otherwise known as clients, but we call them members), some work behind the scenes to help run things smoothly.
Bus Driver
Occasional Outings
Most of our trips are around the community and surrounding area. Generally, not more than 4 hours. Occasionally, we might do a trip to another community, but the endurance of our members makes it so that the trips need to be under 6 hours. At least one other employee or volunteer will always be on the trip.
Bus driver is responsible for the pre and post - trip inspections, reporting any issues with bus, assisting members on the trip.
Some recent trips include:
- the Museum at Campbell River to look at the Model Train Exhibit
