Meet Bea. Bea was born in Scotland, first came to Canada in 1970 and has been married for 52 years. She believes that being productive and useful is in her nature, which is what attracted her to Sendial when she first saw Sendial Shoppers at the Colwood Thrifty Foods store. Bea began volunteering as a Sendial Phoner 19 years ago, then transitioned to shopping, first at the Colwood Store and then at the Belmont Store. She now leads the Wednesday shopping team as the Shopping Captain. Bea enjoys contact with customers, being useful and helpful and the friendship she has developed with fellow volunteers, even outside of Sendial; all of which she would miss if not for the Sendial Program. She encourages others who may be interested in volunteering for Sendial to try it – it’s fun!
