Applications to join the Groves Hospital Volunteer Association Board of Directors for the 2026-2027 year are currently closed. Check back later, as the application for next year will be open in March 2027 with a deadline in mid-April 2027. Thank you for your interest in giving back to Groves Hospital.
Do you have some spare time and want to give back to your community? Why not support our local hospital by volunteering on the Board of Directors for the GHVA.
The GHVA financially supports Groves Hospital through its two retail operations - The Fergus New To You Store and the Hospital Gift Shop. Our 200+ dedicated Volunteers have raised over $4.2M to support the purchase of much needed equipment at Groves Hospital.
Be a part of a great team! GHVA Board members meet once per month September - June with an expectation that successful candidates will also have a role on one or more of our committees. Your energy, expertise, caring and knowledge can make a difference in your community.

Message from Donald Kidd, GHVA President
As of our last AGM in June of 2025, we have an active Board of Directors made up of volunteers from the community of Centre Wellington. There are 12 elected directors and two directors representing the GMC Hospital who vote on any motions brought forward for a decision by the Board.
The Board has 4 executives, being the President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, who can meet to deal with issues that arise outside of the regularly scheduled Board meetings. There are 7 standing committees of the Board and 2 ad hoc committees created to deal with immediate issues such as the new store construction.
The Directors meet once a month, either in person ( if weather allows) or virtually, to discuss, consider, and vote on decisions involving issues arising in the GHVA operations, both at New To You and with the volunteers at the Hospital.
Each director brings to the Board their own abilities, experience, and interests to assist in ensuring that any Board decision is being exposed in advance to a broad spectrum of opinions and comments.
Each year, there is usually at least one and sometimes as many as three new Directors needed to join the Board and we would welcome anyone interested in joining the Board putting their name and resume forward. Ads in the Wellington Advertiser and the local newspapers seeking applicants usually come out in April of each year if a new director is needed.
Any not-for-profit organization like ours is based not only on the enormous contributions of the volunteers doing the operational tasks but also on the contributions and work of the Board in giving direction to the organization’s efforts.
