Two Calgary facilities geared toward helping others are looking to fill a number of volunteer positions.
Calgary's new cancer centre is seeking wayfinding volunteers to help patients find their way in the new facility. “We are looking at covering, minimum, three entrances that are brand new to patients and family,” said Jayco Teng, volunteer coordinator at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre.In total, they are looking for approximately 230 wayfinder volunteers to cover the new facility, which is seven times the footprint of the Tom Baker Cancer Centre building.
For patients like Miller, they hope more people consider volunteering to help out at the new cancer centre. In addition to helping with their three meal services a day, the centre is also looking for people to help check guests in and assist with hygiene support. It also is looking for people to volunteer at its donation centre, sorting household items.“The waitlist is huge. If we could reduce that waitlist, that would be amazing if we could help deliver our meal service faster, especially in the morning, we would be just absolutely thrilled,” said May-McQillan.
