67% Informative

The Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope program relies on volunteers to transport patients to critical medical appointments for cancer treatment.

The lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are still being felt, as many would-be volunteers, particularly older ones, remain reluctant to enter hospitals or travel with strangers.

Drivers are needed in Windsor, Leamington , Kingsville , and Amherstburg .

Most cancer treatments are offered in Windsor , but certain forms of chemotherapy and radiation require travelling outside of the city.

Drivers must meet criteria like being available during cancer centre hours and having a clean driving record.

All volunteers decide when and where they are willing to drive and do not have to go into any hospital.
