Ongoing
Daily outings and activities in the local area are important for community integration and socialization, but can be quite a challenge for some of our residents to pursue independently. 
Many of our residents require support in being able to go out into the community. They may require support with wheelchair assistance for their mobility, including the use of buses, trains and walking to their destination or lift-equipped van. 
RILS creates the opportunity for our residents to be active, contributing participants in the community with the help of outing volunteers. Outing volunteers offer a helping hand to a resident on their daily excursions and planned trips, from assisting with mobility to helping to make payments. With activities including museum visits, sporting events, movie theatres, local eateries and even the occasional paddleboarding day; outings involve a mixture of local events and attractions that guarantee laughs and enjoyment for all.
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
-An opportunity to develop meaningful connections and friendships with a resident here. 
-An opportunity to enable others to live independently and facilitate a sense of belonging in the community 
-An opportunity to support people with disabilities in being able to access places in the community
-A chance to explore the area, go to fun venues and have fun!
