Requesting or volunteering help Do you know someone that needs help getting groceries or medications? Perhaps you are willing to volunteer to help those in need? Please visit the website www.bc211.ca and see the Safe Seniors, Strong Communities Program. This provincially coordinated program matches volunteers with those in need of assistance. You can also call 211 if you are in need of assistance.

Creating a sense of community online During these times of physical distancing, a sense of community and connectedness is more important than ever. To assist in this regard, the CBA has created a Facebook group, in which community members can engage with each other, local businesses and individuals can offer their services, and we can all discuss issues of importance to the community.  Click here to join in the conversation!
