Are you looking for a flexible opportunity to volunteer, while seeing the real-life impact you're making? CNIB has the position for you!
As a Vision Mates, you are paired with a person who is blind or partially sighted to help with sighted tasks in their home, deliver groceries, or call to chat. Our current volunteers find this both easy (it feels like spending time with a friend) and flexible (visits/calls are scheduled between the volunteer and their match at a mutually convenient time). Training is provided.
We’re currently looking to match:
- Mary, 75, Big Pond, comfortable with any gender/age volunteer. Looking for a volunteer caller to talk to someone about anything under the sun. If possible, it would be nice to have an in-person match to go for walks or have a cup of tea with, however she would be thrilled to simply have a phone call. -Very easy-going and flexible, extremely accommodating with regards to a scheduled time.
- Robert, 70s, Ingonish, likes talking about music, philosophy, and spirituality. He’d like help reading mail and books, organizing, going for walks, and socializing.
- George, 60s, New Waterford, would like a female visitor weekday afternoons to help with reading, going for walks, and socializing. He describes himself as a “pretty good fella” and enjoys books, magazines (MacLeans, Canadian Geographic), wrestling shows, outer space movies, and going to Tim Hortons and the library. He has some hearing loss and needs someone who will speak slowly.
- Faith, 50s, Port Hawkesbury, wants a call twice a week in the evening (local calling). She likes to joke around and is easy to talk to. She enjoys knitting, reading, baking, and spending time with her cat. She’d like an older female volunteer, who would help with organizing, grocery shopping, and going for walks. She wears a hearing aid so annunciating will be important.
- Christina, 40s, Port Hawkesbury, is looking for someone to go for walks with so that she can practice using her white cane and become more independent. She’s not looking for a sighted guide, but rather someone who can provide assistance if/when needed. She enjoys listening to audio books.
- Michelle, 70s, Sydney, would like help shopping, going for walks, and completing paper work. She enjoys crafts, books, computers, and spending time with her grandchildren.
- Peter, 40s, Sydney, is a new parent who would like someone to exercise and jog with. He is interested in movies, shows, music, the news, his community, current affairs, sports, and reading. Weekends and Friday work best.
- John, 60s, Sydney, would like a female volunteer to help with reading, organizing, and going for walks to coffee or to the pharmacy. He has a cat and enjoys gardening, talking about travel, and listening to CBC.Interested in volunteering for this position? Email jeff.deviller@cnib.ca and he'd be happy to answer any of your questions!

We are looking for people born between 1946-1965 to take part in a study of leisure, work, and life transitions. While many baby boomers have begun to retire, others are unable to retire or are choosing not to retire for a variety of reasons. If this sounds like you, we want to learn from you. As a participant in this study, you will be asked to participate in an online blog with others in your generation by sharing your experiences and perceptions of leisure, work, and your decision not to retire. Your participation would involve 4 sessions per year for three years, each of which is approximately two weeks. You will be asked to log on to the blog about 5 times in each session. You can create new posts and/or comment on the posts of others. If you volunteer to participate, you will be contacted by a researcher to help you set up an account and get comfortable navigating the blog. In appreciation for your time, you will receive a $50.00 gift card annually. For more information about this study, or to volunteer for this study, please contact: Rebecca Genoe Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at 306-585-4781 or Email: rebecca.genoe@uregina.ca. This study has been reviewed and received approval through the Research Ethics Board, University of Regina.
