Our volunteers mean the world to us! From assistance at the Front Desk, in the Cafe, in the Kitchen, event and committee assistance, driving members to and from the centre, Ambassadors greeting, helping with facility maintenance, tending to the gardens, convening or instructing programs, our Volunteer Board of Directors and much much more – remember that we would not be where we are today without you! THANK YOU ❤️❤️👏👏

There is nothing more we would love to do than to host our biggest event of the year – Volunteer Appreciation Night – to thank and celebrate these amazing people who uplift the BOAA on a daily basis. We appreciate all you are doing to help flatten the curve and cannot wait to see your smiling faces back at the BOAA. Thank you to these AMAZING volunteers who lift our organization for day-to-day enjoyment for our members and guest – you truly are our biggest and best resource!

October 28, 2022Blog PostsDear Members, Many of you were issued credit notes in 2020 when BOAA closed our doors due to the COVID-19 lockdown. It is wonderful to be in a much better place today – with our door open and events happening more regularly. Many individuals who were issued credits in 2020 have since used them or donated them back to BOAA. Thank you for doing so. We do however have quite a few outstanding credit notes from 2020 that we need to settle. We would ask you to please use any outstanding 2020 credit notes on programming or consider donating funds back to BOAA. If you donate them, you will receive a charitable donation receipt -see Stella Riccio x46. If you have not used or donated your credit note from 2020 back to BOAA by November 15, 2022, it will be void. We appreciate your understanding and support as always. Any recent credit notes (from 2021/2022) will continue to be honoured. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us.   The BOAA remains committed to continuing to provide safe and exceptional older adult programs and events to our members. [...]
