Travel up the isolated, picturesque coastline of Vancouver Island’s Nootka Sound and ‘Share a Smile’ with the communities in this area. BCDHA has awarded Share a Smile Society with a grant to help fund the travel and accommodation expenses for 4 volunteer dental hygienists.
We will be visiting the communities of Tahsis, Esperanza/Zeballos and Kyuquot in the Nootka Sound and it may be possible for you to join our team for one, two or all of the communities. This is determined after our volunteer numbers are confirmed and travel arrangements are made and confirmed. We will be leaving on or about September 5th and returning on September 14th.
The lucky applicants must be registered dental hygienists in the province of British Columbia with a valid license with the College of Dental Hygienists of BC and must also be members of BCDHA. If you are interested in joining us for this amazing opportunity please submit your resume by mail or email along with a letter of interest including your desired destinations and your BCDHA and College Registration numbers.
