A message of gratitude from the Executive Director of Nanaimo Lifeline:

Our team of volunteers and staff work every day to help keep our friends, family, and neighbours safe and connected when they’re living independently at home. Our mission to support healthcare in Nanaimo and Oceanside is only possible because of the incredible compassion, skill, and dedication the whole team brings to our shared work every day. Whether they're out in the community installing and maintaining our Lifeline equipment, making daily check-in calls to our clients, or working in the office to hold it all together, their dedication and kindness truly makes a difference for our community.

Our volunteers and staff are the heart of Lifeline. I thank you all so much for everything you do. I'm so proud to be a part of this team, and this organization that touches so many lives every day.
