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.

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:
- Nova, 80s, enjoys church, going for short walks, reading romantic books and biographies, and visiting with her 7 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. 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.
- Peggy, 70s, is looking for someone to help her walk on an indoor track and practice using her white cane (specific training will be provided).Interested in volunteering for this position? Email jeff.deviller@cnib.ca and he'd be happy to answer any of your questions!

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
