Applicant Declaration
Please read the following information carefully before submitting your application to Volunteer Services.
DECLARATION
I confirm that all the information I have provided in the volunteer application form is complete and true in every respect.
I understand that failure to complete my application form completely and truthfully, or not meet the volunteer requirements, may result in disqualification to proceed with volunteer opportunities at BC Cancer.
While we thank all applicants, our process is to review applications as we need new volunteers and will contact those that have the skills, interests, and availability that best meet our volunteer needs. We usually have more applicants than vacant volunteer positions so not all volunteers will be contacted.
