Door to Door Canvasser

Door to Door canvassers needed

You CAN make a difference!

In support of the increasing need for services that are provided by the local Alzheimer Society the local chapter is in need of canvassers for the annual door to door campaign in January.

If you enjoy walking, the outdoors, and helping people, call Bea at the Alzheimer Society at 705-942-2195 to canvass your street or a street in your neighbourhood. It only takes a few hours in the month of January to make a difference in someone who is affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

Funds raised support services such as Education, Recreation Therapy and Family Support for local people affected by Alzheimer’s disease and their families.

Volunteer Visitor Program

Our Volunteer Visitor program connects volunteers with people living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias for weekly, friendly visits and shared activities. This volunteer opportunity is all about providing meaningful social and recreational support.

If you enjoy socializing, helping people, and want to make a difference, call the Alzheimer Society at 705-942-2195.
