Ackney at meeting

“Leadership” was the theme for the B.C. Associa- tion of Hospital Auxiliaries Presidents’ conference held in Vancouver in February.

Castlegar Hospital Auxili- ary vice-president Tony Ackney attended and re- ported that it was a very ed- ucational meeting.

Guest’ speakers Charles Grierson, president of the BCHA, and Jacquie Coinner spoke on hospital volunteers.

British Columbia was the first province to start a hos- pital association in 1971, and througi the years volun- teering has become a profes- sion.

To honor volunteers, April 23-29 has been named Na- tional Volunteer’ Week.

Workshops on volunteer job descriptions, simple book- keeping, and budgeting for accurate records were the key addresses at the con- ference.

At the February meeting of the Women's peirgeatd to the District Hospital, er, Pastro, dir- ector of volunteers for Trail

Regional Hospital, spoke

- briefly on the advantages of

infant car seats.

The seats have been en- dorsed by the government and should be a priority for new parents.

The auxiliary also plans a spring rummage sale. Watch for details in April.

The next meeting of the Auxiliary is 8 p.m. March 19 at the Castlegar and District Hospital Conference Room.

of these new incorporations will result in increased em ployment, “a goal we all want to achieve.”

“While we are still short of the all-time record — 21,380 new companies in 1980 — last year’s figure indicates an im- pressive gain over the 1982 level of 11,482,” Hewitt said.

“This significant improve- ment is a barometer that better times are ahead.”

Total revenues for the Companies Office were up 10.7 per cent, to $18,950,238, Hewitt said.
