After retiring, Susan saw a volunteer post in which Immigrant Services Calgary wanted someone to help with creating a video for our Early Learning Across Cultures program for 3–5-year-old children and their parents or caregivers. We were glad to have her join the volunteer team and contribute her skillset to the program. This is her story:

"From beginning to end, the project was a lot of fun. A total of about 60-70 hours went toward all of the following: meetings to plan the project, writing the script, voiceover, shooting the video, selecting video images, and video-editing with my husband’s help. My husband also created the music for the video.
My favourite thing about volunteering is feeling needed and feeling a sense of connection that comes from helping others. I’ll continue to want to give through volunteering which is what makes it so special. I spend much of my time volunteering by hosting walks for the Calgary Ladies Walking Group."

Congratulations, Susan!
