Volunteer of the Month:
The South East Grey Community Health Centre would like to congratulate Aine on being our Volunteer of the Month. She has been a dedicated volunteer with our indoor walking programs and a great representative at local events. She always has a smile on her face and provides the community with great information. Thank you for all you do Aine!

Volunteer Opportunities:
Looking for ways to get active and give back to your community?  Why not do both at the same time!  South East Grey Community Health Centre is presently recruiting volunteers to support our indoor walking programs in Markdale and Flesherton.  Responsibilities would include:  opening the building for the start of the program and closing the building at the end of the program; ensuring that attendees have signed into the program for the day; socializing and engaging with your fellow walkers; ensuring that new walkers have filled out a participant waiver form; and most importantly, enjoying being active with your fellow community members!

Interested applicants are not required to cover both locations unless desired.
