Q.0: How important are volunteers?
A.0: Over the fiscal year April 2000-March 2001, 110 volunteers contributed over 4800 hours of service to the Centre in all
aspects of the program’s operations. Volunteers were involved in providing one-to-one support in cognitive remediation, community living, job coaching, public relations, fund raising, and administrative assistance. As well, members of the Board of Directors and its various committees gave over 1400 hours of support to the organization over the past year. BIRC is indebted to the extraordinarily generous gifts of time and compassion that our volunteers have given to the organization and the individuals in our community who so deeply need and appreciate their support and assistance.
Also deserving special recognition are the many volunteers who helped the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre continue its
valuable work through their efforts with fund raising.
We would also like to express our thanks to the many students from Mount Royal College and the University of Calgary who,
in the process of completing a variety of course and study requirements, provided hundreds of hours of knowledge and support to the Centre.
Looking at the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre makes us realize that we have some of the best volunteers right here, working with us day-to-day and playing an integral part in the successful rehabilitation of each and every participant.
The staff, Board and participants of the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre would like to take this opportunity to voice a huge THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! to all our wonderful volunteers!
