Programs and Services (updates and reminders)

• The September Program Guide will soon be available on our website. It is a great source of information on upcoming programs, both virtual and in-person options. Adhering to social distancing requirements means we have limited spaces for in-person programs so we will continue to offer virtual programming so more families can participate.

• Counselling services from a member of our Mental Health & Well-Being Team are available by phone and by appointment.

• One-on-one services in the areas of the support for veterans and their families, special needs navigation, relocation, employment, and deployment, will continue to be available by appointment.

• Deployment Respite Child Care is available at our Shearwater site on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 – 11:30am and 1 – 3pm. Pre-registration is required.

• Play & Learn, a program for parents/caregivers and their youngsters, will offer outdoor activities.

• Our Community Fall Fair takes place from September 20-26, 2020. Throughout the week we will be offering fun activities for everyone, delivered both virtually and in-person.

For more details about our programs, services or general inquiries, please call our information line at 902-427-7788 to speak with a member of our administration team. For urgent matters, this phone line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
