Volunteers: special people doing very special things

West Park continues to benefit from the tireless efforts of those who give of their time and talents to help others - our volunteers.

Volunteers at West Park are involved in everything we do. From one-on-one visitation with patients and operating the Gift Shop, to governing the organization as a member of our Board of Directors, volunteers are special people doing very special things.

We believe in providing volunteer opportunities that are equally rewarding to both the volunteer and the centre. Volunteers have the opportunity to assist with a wide variety of valuable services that help enhance the quality of patients' lives. These services include, but are not limited to, physiotherapy, feeding and recreation therapy support our health care professionals in direct patient care activities. Volunteers also assist in the library, Gift Shop and hair salon help to provide everyday conveniences to residents who cannot easily make use of community services

Of the centre's 240 active volunteers, many are retirees looking to help out where and when they can, while many others volunteer their time to help them gain the experience and skills they need to help them find employment in the community. West Park believes in making volunteering a rewarding and worthwhile experience for everyone.
