We are looking for Teachers to assist with the independent learning by providing support to those attending the program. The program will run during the mornings 9am-12pm and will likely run three to four days per week. Please note this is a pilot project.

Teach Biology for Canadian Blood Services: to teach a grade 11 biology class
Would you like to use your skill-sets to help save lives? Can you commit to one 2 hour shift per month?
If so, come and volunteer for Canadian Blood Services!
We are presently looking for retired teachers to teach a grade 11 biology class in our Ottawa high schools.
The session is designed to teach the class about blood groups and blood typing while also promoting the need for blood donations. During the session, we also have Canadian Blood Services staff on hand to blood type the students and give them information on how to become blood donors.
The lesson is already planned and approved by the school boards and is available on PowerPoint. English and Bilingual positions are available.
Various other customer service and public relations positions are also available if you would prefer another focus.
All interested retired teachers (even if you didn’t originally teach science) are invited to contact Linda McCormack, Coordinator of Volunteer Resources.

Reaching Out to Isolated Seniors (ROTIS)
Did you know that approximately 9000 or 10% of Ottawa’s senior population live in isolation? This means that these individuals do not have anybody to turn to in times of crisis and are falling through the cracks of the systems designed to help them.
Reaching Out to Isolated Seniors (ROTIS) is a City-wide program that provides a single phone number for concerned individuals to call to ensure that appropriate and timely services are provided for the senior.
In addition to these direct services, a network of agencies and faith communities are working together to address the challenges which prevent isolated seniors from participating in community programs and services. As well, ROTIS aims to create public awareness around the issue of isolated seniors and to mobilize the community to address the needs of seniors in our community. ROTIS is currently looking for volunteers to help with this initiative.
If you are interested in: facilitating information sessions in local businesses; conducting presentations to community groups; or sitting on one of our working committees please contact the ROTIS program. Members of the working committees should be interested in advocating and taking action on one of the following issues related to seniors: Volunteerism; Transportation; Public Awareness.
For more information please contact Stephanie Piovesan at 613-232-0727 or Stephanie.piovesan@rogers.com
