These activities are organized by parent volunteer with support from the community Wellness Centre. Come along and connect with other English-speaking parents and get in touch with your creative side. There are many ceramic pieces to choose from, including some fun Christmas ornaments. We chat as we paint and the time goes by way too fast! Newcomers are always welcome.

It’s normal to feel that after-holiday let down when all the festivities of the season end, the credit card bills roll in, and the coldest weather, snow, and ice make us housebound. The feelings of melancholy accompanying this period are commonly known as the January Blahs. When should we take notice that the January Blahs are more serious or have turned into depression? Depression is a mood disorder accompanied by feelings of sadness, anger, and loss that can affect a person’s every-day activities. Sadness doesn’t always mean depression. Join us for this timely videoconference with presenter, Yvonne Clark, Clinical Social Worker and Grief Counselor, to learn more about the difference between feeling down or blue and full-blown depression.
