What Being a Junior Volunteer Means to Me
My name is Paige. I am 10 years old, go to Bluenose Academy, and I have been volunteering at Harbor View Haven for 2 years. I like volunteering because I get to spend time with the residents. We play fun games together and this makes us happy. I volunteer at special events and some activities such as paint classes, one on one visits, card games, bake groups and more. One on one visits are my favourite because I can get to know the residents better. I think the residents like it when the junior volunteers come to visit because they smile right away. Being a volunteer is great!

Mealtimes at HVH At our last Resident Council meeting, it was discussed and primarily opted for, flipping our bigger meal from noon to supper time. With providing a very large breakfast, followed by the large main meal for lunch, many residents are too full to consume that meal (which contains most of their daily calories and protein). Due to this, many are quite hungry by supper time when the lighter meal is served. With residents’ input, we are looking at moving our largest meal to supper time. Benefits of this include: Improved satiety throughout the evening Less hypoglycemia with morning blood sugars Increased likelihood of consuming the large, main meal The ability to sleep in & have a late breakfast, without compromising intake of the larger meal Stay tuned for results of our residents’ votes! ~ Food Services Team
