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.
Welcome, Carmella Maga,

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".

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.
