“Joining the Hospice board has meant more to me than I could have imagined. It is an honour to be a small part of a Society that moves mountains to ensure that the needs of those experiencing that final phase of life are met with dignity, respect, skill and care. The staff, the volunteers and the Board work in concert to support clients and each other at every turn, and it is my pleasure to bring to the table both my life experience and my insatiable curiosity.”
Bruce A Muir
“As I come to the end of my term on the Board of Directors for Hospice Comox Valley, I leave feeling thankful for a deeply fulfilling experience supporting an organization that continues to expand its impact in the community. The board’s organized, welcoming and inclusive environment has allowed me to contribute meaningfully, build enjoyable connections, and deepen my learning about grief, end-of-life care, community and governance.”
