Handivan

The Auxiliary coordinates the use of the handivan. This service is available to the citizens of Vulcan County. Cost: $15.00 flat rate per trip plus $1.00 per km and $15.00 per hour for the driver. Patrons are billed on a monthly basis. Volunteer Drivers must hold a valid class 4 drivers license. Call the Unit Clerk at 403-485-3306 to book the handivan.

 

WiFi

• The Auxiliary provides free high-speed WIFI for the residents and patients in the hospital. WIFI allows residents to stay in touch with family and friends through e-mail and Skype.
• WIFI is also used by the Rec-Therapy Department to enhance TV programming for residents. For example, many hockey games are not available on the cable package offered at the hospital. Connecting the big screen TV in the Long-Term Care Activity Room to online streaming services allows residents to watch their favourite team in action.
