This program provides services to help maintain the health of our community i.e. education and awareness, health and lifestyle teaching, diabetes issues (ADI), health monitoring, child immunizations (was given a recognition award for 90% immunizations for 2 year olds), vaccinations, chronic care, FAS/FAE education and awareness, HIV/AIDS prevention, pre and post natal care, pandemic planning etc. We hired a new CHN worker combined with the Home Care Nurse to be at the Wellness Centre full time.

Our Community Health Representative is in charge of the Good Food Box program that supplies the community with fresh healthy food. She also does the Community Kitchen, where they learn how to cook nutritiously and get advise from a nutritionist. Currently she started an Elders group, where all the community’s elders gather and discuss the traditions and culture of the community. There will be monthly meetings and they will be writing down their discussions. If you want any questions answered about the services please feel free to phone her @ Wellness Centre.
