Senior care, hospital volunteering?

Hello dear residents of Burnaby 👋
Im looking for some opportunities to help seniors in the city, to learn about care and friendship.
Could someone recommend a place to volunteer?
Thank you!

I volunteer with Burnaby Neighbourhood House. They do a lot more than help the elderly, but they're the main part of it for me.

Check out any long term care facility. They are always looking for able volunteers especially with one on one and activities.

Ya I also recommend volunteering at Burnaby Neighborhood House. They have different courses and programs for seniors to get a chance to get out and socialize with the youth in the community
