Our volunteers are valuable members of our team and play an integral part at Deer Lodge Centre. Each year our amazing volunteers donate their time and talent and approximately 18,000 hours throughout different areas of the Centre. They are engaged in meaningful activities and roles in patient care areas, non-patient care areas, fundraising and special events. They come from diverse backgrounds but have one thing in common – a strong desire to make a positive impact on the lives our our residents, patients, visitors and staff contributing to our mission to making lives better.

As a volunteer you will be offered a regularly scheduled shift in a specific placement area. Placements are determined according to your interests and availability as well as the Centre’s needs. Most of our placements are during weekdays but we do have some weekday evenings and weekend positions available.

We value the contributions and services our volunteers provide to enrich the lives of others and we will do our absolute best to ensure your volunteer experience is a positive one.
