Community & Volunteer Services Volunteer Opportunities
JBCP has a long history of community participation, and offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities. The wonderful thing about volunteering is that it is a two way street - the volunteer provides a service, friendship, skills, and in return gains new knowledge, friends, experience and better connections in the community. Why not volunteer a few hours a month to serve your community, keep your mind and body active and healthy, meet new people and have fun! Contact Volunteer Coordinator Catriona Campbell at 250.388.7844 to enquire about volunteer options such as the following:
