Meet Avinash!

Avinash has been a volunteer at BSF for nearly 17 years - since 2007! He volunteers at BSF's Bow View Manor and Wentworth Manor, and helps our Therapeutic Recreation teams run Bingo, go on days trips, and more.

In addition to volunteering at BSF, Avinash also volunteers with Gujarati Mandal of Calgary, an organization dedicated to supporting the culture and traditions of the Gujarat community. During his time as a volunteer, he has been known for organizing seniors' activities that enhance their quality of life. In 2016, he was awarded the Sovereign's Medal for Volunteers, recognizing his exceptional volunteer achievements.

“I love to work with seniors and help them," said Avinash. "Seniors like me, if they are able, can give back to society and can be very helpful. So that is my prime aim, to help seniors."

We are so grateful for Avinash and all of our incredible volunteers for all that they do for our residents, clients, families, and staff.
