·        Offer companionship and emotional support, especially to those with cognitive or physical challenges

·        Treat all individuals with respect, dignity, and compassion

·        Always maintain strict confidentiality

 What We’re Looking For:

·        Warm, patient, and empathetic individuals who enjoy spending time with seniors

·        Able to commit to weekly visits and build rapport over time

·        Must complete a Criminal Record Check for the vulnerable sector

·        Provide two references

 Make a Meaningful Difference

Join our team of dedicated volunteers at Fair Haven Home Society and make a positive impact on the lives of those in need. We are seeking individuals who are passionate about making a difference and willing to give their time and skills as a member of our dynamic Board of Directors. Working closely with our Leadership team, our Board serves an essential role in supporting our mission to provide a safe, secure, respectful, and inclusive environment for the seniors we serve. Focused on person-centred service, we strive to provide the highest quality of life and nurture a vibrant community for our long-term care residents and independent living tenants.


Fair Haven is an industry leader in providing housing and long-term care for seniors. As a member of our Board of Directors, you will be a part of a dedicated team responsible for Fair Haven’s overall governance and stewardship. Our current Board members offer a wide range of skills and experience that guide Fair Haven to meet our goals and in planning our future. With your talents and abilities, you will provide good leadership, demonstrate analytical problem-solving and decision-making skills, show good judgment, and develop strong relationships.


We value individuals with a passion for the welfare of our seniors and an innate desire to do good. This role will provide you with the opportunity to support seniors’ care, expand your network, gain experience in governance and leadership, and contribute to your community.


We are prioritizing the recruitment of new Board members with skills and experience in health care, marketing, fundraising, legal and property development.

About More at Home Society

At More at Home Society, we are a grassroots organization in our founding year, dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for seniors by ensuring equitable access to essential home care services through financial subsidies. Our innovative programs create a supportive environment where seniors can remain in their homes and communities, available to seniors across British Columbia. Bringing equity to these choices to low-income seniors helps alleviate the burden on family caregivers, enhancing their quality of life, supporting our communities and lowering the pressure on BC's overextended public-funded health and home care facilities.

1 in 9 seniors in public long-term care could be supported at home, and those who age in place often enjoy a life expectancy SIX TIMES longer than those in institutional settings. We firmly believe that every senior deserves the opportunity to age with dignity and security, having autonomy and equity in choosing their healthcare options.

Make a difference in the lives of blind or partially sighted people in your community!

The Vision Mate program matches people who are blind or partially sighted with sighted volunteers who provide companionship and one-on-one assistance with everyday tasks and errands. Vision Mate volunteers can assist individuals with various activities including errands, going for walks, labelling and organizing household items, reading, or fun outings and recreational activities.

Matches are made with someone who lives close to your home, school or work. Visits are typically two hours a week in the person’s home or another suitable place at a mutually convenient time. We aim to match people for a minimum of six months, though there is no maximum time for a match to continue. Ideally, it will continue for years to come, as the Vision Mate relationship often transitions to friendship.

We are looking for volunteers with the following skills and attributes:

CNIB provides orientation about our organization, the people we help, vision loss, as well as training specific to the position. A clear Police Record Check and two reference checks are required. Must be 18 or older.

If you are interested in applying to be a Vision Mate volunteer, please fill out the Volunteer Application Form, and specify Vision Mate under Name of Specific Position.

For more information about the program or about volunteering with CNIB, please contact Ben Finkelberg – Program Lead, Vision Mate and Volunteer Operations, at ben.finkelberg@cnib.ca or by phone at at 250-410-4368.
