Volunteering 

The Auxiliary2024-07-11T18:38:49+00:00

The Auxiliary has many fund raising events each year, such as the spring plant, bake and rummage sale. The Christmas craft and bake sale is also very popular. A lot of volunteer time is put into these events, as they raise money for our Resident extras.

The money raised by these events goes directly back to the Residents, to enhance their quality of life while at Tsawaayuus. The Auxiliary has purchased items such as a large flat screen television, a fridge for our kitchenette as well as lovely Christmas Gifts each year.
