Wellness Sessions
CCWS has provided health and wellness services to the community since its inception in 2010. We have usually partnered with a community organization – community association, activity centres, volunteer centres, as delivery partners. We provide Facilitators with topic expertise and rely on the partner organization for advertising, although we can provide the poster, also posted on our website. At the close of each session, participations are invited to offer evaluation feedback, ask questions, and provide permission for us to advise them of future activities.
Recently, we conducted HEAT WAVE READINESS in collaboration with the Community Health Network and delivered at three different community locations.
