Community Supporters

We have formed a group which meets online twice each month on the first and third Tuesday of the month from 7:30 to 8:30 in the evening.

The group is for people who are caring for a family member with long-term physical or mental problems requiring time and attention from the caregiver. It also includes people whose family member is in a care home.

It gives people a chance to talk about their situation with others who cany similar responsibilities and concerns. It enables people to speak about services and products that they have found helpful and share tips from their own caregiving experiences.

We hope to also have occasional in-person meetings in the daytime, so people who cannot connect online can sometimes participate.

If you are interested in this group, please phone Wendy at 250-395-6142 or email to wendymh@fioext.com .
