The Office of the Seniors Advocate is giving every resident in long-term care in the province a chance to share their experiences and tell us about their quality of life. We need volunteers to enter care homes in every community in the province, and give their attention and empathy to these seniors. You can brighten their day and be their voice.

I interviewed my dad on video in his final weeks. When I asked about his work and finding meaning through helping others, he responded, “I don’t think you can be focused on, ‘Oh gee, I want to make a difference.’ It has to be spontaneous. If it’s not…there’s some kind of egotistical thing going on. That’s a red flag. You hope you impact people on the deepest level you are capable of at the time. Sometimes you hit it, sometimes you don’t. You’re trying.
