Since that time, Mrs. Salter has held many volunteer positions, including interim President of the Auxiliary. She assisted The Ladies' Auxiliary in providing support to Veterans at the psychiatric wing at Westminster Campus until its closure, when the Veterans were moved to their new home at the Western Counties Wing of Parkwood Hospital, where Mrs. Salter continues to volunteer. She also served as Chairperson for ANAVETS Unit 393 and as a contact to the Western Counties Wing of Parkwood Hospital for more than 20 years.
