| Hospices
help extremely vulnerable people through a difficult and often
frightening time. For this reason, hospice members of the
Hospice Association of Ontario require, at a minimum, that
their volunteers undergo a standardized 30-hour volunteer
training course and a police check. Individual hospices may
also conduct a reference check and a driver’s abstract.
Hospices need volunteers for a variety of functions, for example,
fundraising, client transportation, friendly visiting, and
office administration. To find a hospice in your community,
click on the Programs and Services
button and type in the name of your city/town in the Search
cell. If unsuccessful, try typing in the name of a larger
community close by.
