Our very popular Ski School program for Elementarty and Middle School children need you.
Classes are booked weekdays beginning January 3 through to end of February and if you can join a class to assist the teachers and parents please reach out. There are still a few classes not matched with a host. Thank you to those folks who have already stepped up to work with the classes.
Share your love of X-C skiing and the Larch Hills experience! No coaching or instruction is required. The requirement is a 90 minute morning fun ski session.
If this is an unfamiliar concept an on-snow new Ski Hosts orientation can be arranged for Saturday morning, Jan. 7.
Larch Hills Safety Host Program Back in full swing.
The LHNS Members Emergency Contact list is available from the Safety Hosts & Track Setters Kiosk pamphlet box across from the Chalet. You can find the box beside the Safety Hosts sign out board showing which Safety Hosts are available.
About the project: There are over 29,000 individuals living in 294 publicly subsidized care homes in B.C. Every resident will be approached to participate in an in-person interview conducted by trained volunteers. The rich information collected will be an important source of information for our Seniors Advocate to identify system wide issues.
Community involvement: The resident survey could not be conducted without the support of volunteers in every region of the province. There are nearly 400 residents in Salmon Arm’s 4 facilities?. Many of these residents are lonely and bored, and this survey is a chance for them to have a visitor and engage with one of our volunteers. It also gives volunteers insight on what it’s like inside a long-term care facility.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I hope you will support our efforts to ensure that the quality of long-term care in BC is something we can be proud of, and especially that the seniors in Salmon Arm are valued and cared for!
Warm regards,?
