Personal cheques, with proper identification, cash or VISA are accepted. Mail Service Volunteers deliver mail every weekday morning.

If you have letters to mail, please ask a volunteer to drop them into the Canada Post box located in the main lobby. Library Volunteer Services provide a patient library service. You may borrow paperbacks, large print books, or magazines from the library cart which goes to nursing units in the Royal and Strathcona Buildings each afternoon, following rest period. Reading materials are also available from the sun rooms on each nursing unit. Donations of magazines and paperbacks for the patients' library are always welcome and can be left in the bin outside the gift shop.
