The Make Yourself at Home Suite of Services
An exciting new initiative of the Guelph Wellington Seniors Association which assists seniors to successfully age in their own homes by connecting them with appropriate community resources through peer support.
We appreciate our Volunteers!
The Guelph Wellington Seniors Association welcomes any individuals interested in getting involved and becoming a volunteer.
The Guelph Wellington Seniors Association was presented with the "Outstanding Achievement Award for Volunteerism in Ontario" by the Province of Ontario at a ceremony in Kitchener on November 8, 2005. It was appropriate recognition for the more than 500 GWSA members who give so much to the provision of activities, services, programs and the special events that benefit us all.
If you have not yet signed-up for a volunteer contribution to your Association, why not give a call today and find out how you can make a difference.
