August 4 2021

The office door is open and it's lovely to see all the smiling faces again. So many things went on hold in the last year and a half. Our tours were all cancelled due to restrictions.

But we're back in business and the busses are full for our first event since December 2019!

On Wednesday August 11th, as ARC Resources is partnering with Better at Home to host over 70 seniors at the Rodeo Chuckwagon Races!

Check back later for pics of Better at Home seniors at the races!

Big Thanks going out to ARC Resources Ltd. for making this possible.

I asked Carmella to send me a picture that I could share. The photo on the left is what she sent me. However, after some coaxing, she agreed to take the happy face bucket off, thank goodness! Carmella comes to us with lots of experience in volunteer management and special event organization. She loves working with and for seniors. Carmella is an upbeat, friendly addition to our office. Please join me in welcoming her to our Better at Home Team. Carmella’s email address is vcbah@spcrs.ca

Or contact her by phone or text 250-784-7877

Thank You Shell Canada Ltd.

A big thank you to the folks at Shell Canada Ltd. for their support for our 'Seniors' Gift Bags' initiative. Their donation of bags and items will go a long way towards helping us spread some happiness.

Thanks also to the United Way of Northern BC for helping to arrange this through the "Day of Caring".

Better at Home Seniors' Gift Bags - So Many to Thank!

We are proud to list our many sponsors who are making our "Seniors' Gift Bags" a reality. 200 bags filled with both useful and fun items will be distributed to Seniors in Dawson Creek over the next few weeks.

Our BETTER AT HOME program is continuing to offer essential support to local seniors throughout the COVID-19 epidemic.

We will continue to provide yard work services and friendly phone calls/check-ins.

To protect the health and safety of all parties, these services will involve NO direct contact between seniors and our volunteers.

Our staff will be available via phone at 250-219-2119, Monday to Friday, 9-4:30 and we will respond to any messages left outside our operating hours as soon as we can.

We will also do our best to provide seniors with information and referrals they may require to meet any needs that extend beyond what we can offer through Better at Home at this time.

Be Safe and please reach out if you are in need of support.
