At The Brenda Strafford Foundation, we put people at the centre of everything we do. The BSF Way is our person-centred approach to care, services, and environments that are personalized, enabling, support positive interactions and relationships, and encourage a sense of belonging to optimize well-being and enrich people’s lives. This is woven into everything we do, and our volunteers are key players in creating a warm and enriching environment for those we serve.
We strive to make volunteering a beneficial and enjoyable experience for all our volunteers, staff, clients, and residents, and we do our best to cater to the needs of our volunteers and remove barriers to volunteering. If you have any special requests or accommodations, please let us know and we will do our best to come to a mutually beneficial agreement.
Join our team of dedicated volunteers and be part of a team that values compassion, connection, and enriching lives. Your commitment, big or small, can help make a meaningful difference.
In our continuing care sites, our volunteers are primarily involved in supporting our therapeutic recreation teams.
At Heart Home Network, our volunteers support a variety of our operations and services to support women and children escaping domestic violence.

Are you and your group looking to make a meaningful impact together? Volunteering as a group is a fantastic way to build teamwork and make a difference in the lives of the people we serve. Whether you're a corporate team, a school club, or a group of friends, we welcome your energy and enthusiasm.
