Andrew Thompson, our new Mental Health Counsellor, joins the Centre on October 5, 2026. His diverse background has given him a strong foundation for creating a safe and inclusive space for all populations. We're glad you're here Andrew!

We are truly grateful to the Deshkan Ziibi Indigenous Women Drummers who joined us at the Centre on September 23, 2026. Thank you for sharing this special time with us and with our community.

Please welcome Roxanne Libbey, the Centre's new Volunteer Coordinator, and Stephanie Johnson, our new Nurse Practitioner. Stephanie will become part of the Centre's primary care team in Dutton later this year. 

Please welcome Tagreed, Alex, and Paige to the Centre!

This is a free program for individuals and families facing food insecurity. Once a month on a designated day participants can come into the Centre to receive free fruits and vegetables from a local farm. Registration is required.

In June 2026 first year Schulich School of Medicine (Western University) physician students visited the Centre during Discovery Week. Both Paradis Baha and Aviva Moses were quite impressed with our Centre and the services provided! This experience offered the students a better understanding of healthcare in rural communities and within the Community Health Model of Care. Overall, Paradis and Aviva rated their Discovery Week experience 4/5 which puts our Centre in the upper quartile of participating Discovery Week organizations! Thank you Paradis and Aviva for the wonderful review of the Centre and the time you took to create the amazing video! 

The Centre will continue to extend invitations to physician students to spend time with us during their Discovery Week.
