Councils, Volunteer, and Donating

Resident Council:

Residents’ Council meetings provide a meaningful opportunity for residents to stay informed, involved, and actively engaged in the life of the home. Through open discussions, residents can express their preferences, share feedback on meals, programs, and activities, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives. The Council empowers residents to maintain a sense of control over their daily lives and to participate in shaping the home environment.

Family Council:

Family Council is made up of families and friends of residents who come together to support the overall wellbeing of the resident community. The Resident Services Supervisor supports the Council by serving as a liaison. The group is dedicated to advocating for and enhancing the quality of life for all residents.

Volunteers:

Volunteering is the most fundamental act of citizenship and philanthropy in our society. It is offering time, energy and skills of one’s own free will. It is an extension of being a good neighbour and choosing to help others.

The G. Tackaberry and Family Home is thankful for the volunteers who are instrumental to the home and who can be seen assisting with programs such as bingo, parties, special events, and one-on-one visits with residents.

If you are interested in volunteering in our home, please contact our Resident Services Supervisor at 613-924-2696, extension 6004. Legislation requires that a police check is required for all volunteers once an interview and screening has been completed. Onboarding and education will be provided as per legislation and corporate policy.
