GDUC Introduces Care Officer Program

November 17, 2007
Categories:

November, 2007 - Guide Dog Users of Canada is putting into place a national network of Care Officers who will offer a sympathetic ear to any guide dog handler wishing to talk about issues such as retirement, illness, death, and any other emotional topics we face as handlers.

We currently have two care officers in place:

  • Margaret Thomson in Newfoundland ∓ Labrador; and,
  • Craig Goodenough in Ontario

Any member wishing to be considered for a position as a care officer should contact Melanie Marsden, Vice-President. We are particularly in need of a bilingual (or French-speaking) Care Officer. Candidates must be active members in good standing, and will be appointed by the Board of Directors for a one-year term.

For more information, please see the GDUC Care Officer web page.
