While this is the toughest subject in the webinar series, it is likely the most important. There is a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation about MAiD. By the end of this workshop, you will understand the safeguards, who qualifies, the process for applying and approval, and the support available for you and your loved ones.

Volunteer on Executive

Victoria Branch 1200 welcomes new members to its Executive Board. This year we are seeking people who are interested in various positions including treasurer, program coordinator and organizers for social and members’ welfare activities.

Executive members organize events or workshops for Branch 1200 members. We also host speakers to talk about matters of interest to our members. We maintain a webpage, publish a newsletter twice a year, contribute to the provincial PEN, work on recruiting and retaining new members and ensure that our finances are well-managed in accordance with BCGREA guidelines. The Chair represents the Branch on the provincial Board and other members also participate on various provincial committees. The Executive meets 4-6 times per year, either in person or by zoom. Although times vary, generally members will spend up to 10 hours per month on Branch activities.
