Are you feeling unwell? 
Questioning if you should come in for a shift?

If you are feeling unwell please err on the side of caution and do not come in.  Log into Volgistics and remove yourself from your volunteer shift(s). This notifies Volunteer Services, and in most cases, the staff liaison in the area where you volunteer, that you won’t be able to come in.

If you would like to review the current COVID-19 screening questions to confirm if you should come in for a shift, get tested, etc, please click here.

Transportation/Parking

If required, Volunteer Services will provide paid parking or a bus pass for use during volunteer shifts. For volunteers at the KGH site, volunteers can receive a parking pass for the underground (Stuart St.) parking lot or a bus pass through the Secretary in Volunteer Services. For the HDH site, volunteers can request reimbursement for parking every 4 months or receive a bus pass.  There is also a KHSC Shuttle service which volunteers can utilize to go between sites.  To learn more about transportation/parking for KHSC volunteers click here.

Policies

Many important policies are relevant to your role as a volunteer (e.g. dress code, scent free, confidentiality, use of electronic devices, code of conduct, etc).  If you have a question about a specific policy, please contact Volunteer Services or you can also review the appropriate eLearning modules on the Orientation section of this site. 

Dress Code

KHSC strives to provide a workplace environment where staff and volunteers feel comfortable and safe while dressed accordingly. Clothing must be in good condition, clean and appropriately fitted with I.D. badges properly placed at chest level on a KHSC uniform.

Although the guidelines allow for a wide range of apparel options, some clothing and accessories are more suitable than others for the work environment.
