Volunteering in the Rehabilitation and Health Clinic in Hveragerdi. This friendly little community sits on top of a highly active geothermal field which provides heat for hundreds of greenhouses where fruits, flowers and vegetables are produced throughout the year. Even bananas grow in these greenhouses! The name Hveragerði means "hot springs garden". Geothermal energy is Hveragerði’s lifeblood, and you probably won’t find such a natural wonder in the middle of a populated area anywhere else in the world. Nearby you will find an even more geothermally active site: Gufudalur, the lovely "Steam Valley" behind the town. This whole valley is full of hot springs, geysers, mud pots, fumaroles and steaming vents.
Main activities include but are not limited to: Agriculture (cultivating soil, planting, raising and harvesting crops), Horticulture (growing fruits, vegetables and plants), Renovation around the property. During winter, the work might include snowplowing.
The nature of the work depends largely on weather conditions, which can change quickly. Working hours are usually from 8 am to 3 pm with a coffee break in the morning and a one-hour lunch break.We will give special focus on global warming and workshops about climate change will take place in the late afternoon. Humanity must act in a more environmentally friendly way. The main goal of this project is to improve the environmental education and consciousness of the project participants. Within the project, we will learn about green energy, sustainable householding, waste treatment, nutrition, the effects of consumption and lots more. If we want to change something, develop solutions or inspire others, we must understand the issues and tasks first. Take part in this promising project and spring into action against climate change!

We learn and improve skills when we practice them. Practice can be done by physically repeating the task or by imagining task performance using a process called motor imagery (MI). Some of the evidence supporting motor imagery as a method for learning and practicing skills is that practice using motor imagery leads to the improved performance of a skill compared to no practice at all.
However, we are not sure how learning and practicing using motor imagery works and if the type of motor skill matters. It could be that certain motor skills are more effectively learned using motor imagery than other motor skills are. Luckily, brain activity can be measured and there is evidence to support that higher levels of measured brain activity suggest more motor learning is occurring and lower levels of measured brain activity mean less motor learning is occurring. The purpose of the current study is to examine if brain activity differs between different types of motor tasks when performing motor imagery. The information gathered in this study will further our understanding of how we learn motor skills and will help us design better training programs for sports, work skills, and rehabilitation.

Volunteering in the Rehabilitation and Health Clinic in Hveragerdi. This friendly little community sits on top of a highly active geothermal field which provides heat for hundreds of greenhouses where fruits, flowers and vegetables are produced throughout the year. Even bananas grow in these greenhouses! The name Hveragerði means "hot springs garden". Geothermal energy is Hveragerði’s lifeblood, and you probably won’t find such a natural wonder in the middle of a populated area anywhere else in the world. Nearby you will find an even more geothermally active site: Gufudalur, the lovely "Steam Valley" behind the town. This whole valley is full of hot springs, geysers, mud pots, fumaroles and steaming vents.
Main activities include but are not limited to: Agriculture (cultivating soil, planting, raising and harvesting crops), Horticulture (growing fruits, vegetables and plants), Renovation around the property. During winter, the work might include snowplowing.
The nature of the work depends largely on weather conditions, which can change quickly. Working hours are usually from 8 am to 3 pm with a coffee break in the morning and a one-hour lunch break.We will give special focus on global warming and workshops about climate change will take place in the late afternoon. Humanity must act in a more environmentally friendly way. The main goal of this project is to improve the environmental education and consciousness of the project participants. Within the project, we will learn about green energy, sustainable householding, waste treatment, nutrition, the effects of consumption and lots more. If we want to change something, develop solutions or inspire others, we must understand the issues and tasks first. Take part in this promising project and spring into action against climate change!

Do you take care of a child with 22q11 Deletion Syndrome?
We are starting a large study with the goal of involving 500 families living with 22q11DS. Specifically, we want to learn how patients and their families are feeling and what costs they experience while caring for a child diagnosed with 22q11DS. We will invite the families who are not doing well to test a novel online intervention that we designed to support the families. We hope that this novel online intervention can be a new accessible tool to further help families/caregivers raising a child with 22q11DS.
Please participate in our study if you meet the following criteria:
Are 18 years of age or older
Can read and speak English, French, or German

Soignez-vous d’un enfant affecté par la délétion 22q11?
Nous commençons une grande étude avec l'objectif d'impliquer 500 familles qui vivent avec le 22q11DS. Plus précisément, nous voulons savoir comment les patients et leurs familles se sentent et quels sont les coûts qu'ils rencontrent lorsqu'ils s'occupent d'un enfant affecté par la délétion 22q11DS. Nous inviterons les familles qui ont des difficultés à tester une nouvelle intervention en ligne que nous avons conçue pour soutenir les familles. Nous espérons que cette nouvelle intervention en ligne pourra devenir un nouvel outil accessible pour aider les familles et les soignants qui élèvent un enfant affecté par la délétion 22q11DS.

The East Coast Cannabis Substitution Program has been up and running for a year and a half now. We have achieved “not for profit” status, and are set to keep saving lives with cannabis well into 2021.
This program takes a lot of people, doing a lot of work, making up many hours a week, for no money; to help provide infused edibles to people struggling with one addiction or another.
We pass out care packages with infused edibles, so people who otherwise aren’t thinking about food, can also get the nutrition and calories they need to heal, stay warm and be healthy.
We are looking for another volunteer.
This time we are in need of a KIT BUILDER
-Volunteers responsible for assembling the care packages. Duties include bagging edibles, stamping bags, counting, folding, stuffing, organizing, making capsules and more.
This position requires a few days a week (usually between Tuesday and Friday), hours vary.
The work takes place in Lower Sackville. More info to be provided during first meeting.
While the CSP is a lot of work and responsibility, we try and keep the work environment as fun as possible. I don’t want this to ever start to feel like actual “work”. Once it feels like actual “work”, it becomes less enjoyable.
We do this because we love it; not because we have to.
And I believe that’s an important thing to try and remember.
If you’re still interested in volunteering after reading all this, I hope to hear from you. Message me.

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.

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 Sallie, 80s, who enjoys chatting about travel and horses and spent 32 years running a therapeutic riding center. She would like help with reading, organizing, running errands, and going for leisurely walks in the Spring. She would really appreciate someone who would be willing to drive her, if possible.
Interested in volunteering for this position? Email jeff.deviller@cnib.ca and he'd be happy to answer any of your questions!
