Hi Thanks for checking out this ad.
I'm looking for someone to help me build and manage a campsite. I can cover bed and board initially and then pay a wage once it is up and running.
I have been working in my spare time for the last 2 years and throughly enjoy it. but I have other things that I have to prioritize my time on so I'm looking for someone to help me. It it really isn't far off being open as I can see the site needing more of my time when it is open than I can afford to give.
So I'm looking for someone who would enjoy working in the woods with me and also alone. Is creative, independent and able to think for them selves but also follow a plan. Attention to detail is a must and ideally a do anything attitude.
This position is to help build and manage the site. So management skills would be beneficial and being good with your hands too.
I can help train, coach and teach you. To be honest anyone who wants to help I am happy to teach.
The site is 25 - 30 minutes outside of the Halifax, on the way to Peggies Cove.

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:
- Lorne, 80s, Falmouth, is looking for help with reading mail and going for walks on Tuesdays or Fridays. He’d also like the social time. He retired from working at a Gypsum Company after 31 years. He has knee problems and enjoys talking with people about daily life, the weather, and occasionally politics. He also enjoys the evening news and comedies like Three is Company.
- Robert, Berwick, is looking for a volunteer to reading mail, computer e-mails, and occasionally driving. He is a senior with age related vision loss and other health issues that have resulted in progressive loss of independence. His wife passed a year ago and he is a father of three who live in NS, but not close by. He enjoys talking about current affairs, family, sports, and the weather. He has hearing aids, but they may not always be worn. His daily schedule is very important due to Parkinson’s disease.Interested in volunteering for this position? Email jeff.deviller@cnib.ca and he'd be happy to answer any of your questions!

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.

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.

- 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.

- 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.

She is a retired teacher and used to do crafts. She is looking for a female volunteer to walk beside her just to make sure she’s not missing a step. She explained, “I just want to get the confidence to walk like I used to and get myself out.” She’d also like help with shopping and reading. She has some hearing loss especially if a person speaks fast and low.
- JJ, 40s, has a cat and would like help with reading, sending letters, and learning computer skills. He’d also enjoy the visits.

How has the pandemic impacted your health and wellbeing? What has been helpful and what has not been helpful for your mental health?
Researchers from the University of Victoria are participating in a global collaboration to study the psychological impact of the pandemic and lockdown. We are asking people to complete a short questionnaire to better understand how the pandemic is affecting us all and its impact on our day to day lifestyle. We hope to find out what is helpful for people during this time and also what may be causing some people to be affected more than others in terms of their wellbeing.
Can you spare 15 minutes to help? Even if you filled out the 1st wave of this survey (Aug - Oct 2020), please also fill out this NEW 2nd WAVE of our survey! Click on the link to the questionnaire for more information: https://bit.ly/3828qkJ or scan the QR code.

Just wonder if anybody has a spare turkey any trimmings they could spare so I could put on a Christmas dinner for my kids. I missed the Christmas index and just found out that the kids are staying home for the holidays. Normally they go to the city with their family..
The one year they stay home, they are I don’t have the money to get anything because I took my money for medication that was not covered under my medical for my sever kidney issues.
Anything would be greatly appreciate it. Also if you happen to have a star next to star or a little angel for the top of my tree appreciate it as well or any spare decorations you’re not using. But I don’t use our gift to my shut in senior neighbour,All alone and we could use a little lifting up for the holidays as well as I’ll share the meal with him and another young lady that’s self isolated because she’s an essential worker early.
Thank you very much if you can spare anything it. Merry Christmas , Happy New Years nd stay safe in Covid times
