Meet Roberta Saltvold, a volunteer at Villa Marie in Red Deer.

For Roberta, volunteering is simple: being present. A listening ear, gentle encouragement and time together can brighten a resident’s day in meaningful ways.

Each week, she visits with residents, helps them attend church services and supports activities like Bible study and hymn singing.

“It is very rewarding, and I feel that I get more than I give by volunteering,” she says.

During national volunteer week, we celebrate volunteers like Roberta whose compassion and presence bring comfort and connection to residents.💙

The best health care innovations don't come from boardrooms. They came from patients.

The Engaged & Empowered 2026 Summit is where patients, providers, researchers and leaders come together to talk honestly about what person-centred care looks like in practice.

Here's what you're getting:

✅Speakers worth showing up for

Prof. Brian Dolan, and Dr. Alika Lafontaine bring decades of real-world experience and ideas you can actually use.

✅Sessions that go beyond theory

Panels and discussions on caregiver resources, access to care, diversity + equity and what it really means to put patients first.

✅200+ people who care about the same things you do

Including a networking reception on April 27. Because the conversations in the hallway matter just as much as the ones on stage.

✅A room students and researchers should be in

If health care transformation is where you're headed, this is the place to start.

✅Stories that stick with you

Patients and caregivers sharing what good care (and the absence of it) actually feels like.

Tickets are going. Grab yours before they're gone. 👇

Kathryn’s advice is simple:

Don’t worry about having the right gifts. Just go and find out what you can do. It might feel small, but it will matter.

Since retiring in 2019, she’s been volunteering at La Crete Continuing Care, spending time each week reading to residents. Sometimes they chat. Sometimes they simply sit together.

One afternoon, she teased a resident about starting a chain reaction of yawns. He burst into laughter. In the weeks that followed, the joke continued and he began calling her his friend.

During Volunteer Week, we’re reminded that these small moments make a big difference.

Sometimes, making a difference is as simple as showing up.💛
