Helpline within the Guild – gethelp@vhwsg.ca
The aim of the help line is to help make connections between members easier. The challenge for many of us is what to do or who to talk to when we need help or support, want more information, have a question or problem. The help line provides one place for any member to make an initial contact with a guild member who can assist them.
