				Volunteering at Mac hospital
			 
			
		
		
		Hey,  
 
Last year I really wanted to volunteer at the mac hospital but even when I started checking in august there weren't any postings.  
 
Later on in around november there were finally some postings but I didn't get a call from them... 
 
So I was wondering is there any way to improve my chances of getting a position there and when about I should start applying for those positions....

 They tend to e-mail dodge. St. Joes was good at responding to calls

		 Go to google maps, type in the address you want to get to. Click on Directions, it should be in part B of the directions. Then in part A put in McMaster University. Then click the train on tracks button for transit.

		 I've volunteered at my local hospital for the passed 6 years, do you think that would better my chances at getting one of these volunteer positions?
