Giving birth in the midst of a pandemic is certainly not something any of us ever wished for! It is, however, a current reality for many local English-speaking parents-to-be. The Wellness Centre is here to support you in this highly unusual time.
Get ready for birth in these unusual times by taking part in a three-session virtual prenatal course guided by Doula, Camille Nadeau. Learn all about Camille in a recent article about her in the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph newspaper.
The aim of these sessions is to give you tips for an active and calm childbirth, and help prepare you for the unexpected. We hope empower you on how to make an informed choice in terms of medical decisions and how to stay calm and resilient, no matter what.

Some things are simply out of our control. Add a global pandemic to the mix, full of isolation and social distancing, and life has become even more stressful!
We have lost so much: our ability to connect with others, our usual routines, perhaps even our creature comforts like good food and travel. Some losses hit us harder than others, however, like losing someone we love. As a caregiver, you may be dealing with loved one’s sudden death or a more gradual loss bit-by-bit due to memory loss, chronic illness or aging.
In our society, we find it hard to face and honour loss, death, and dying, yet it happens all around us during our lives. Perhaps not having been taught how to grieve properly has led us to avoid it as much as possible. Does everyone start to feel better after a certain time? Does time really heal? What we have come to understand is that each person grieves in unique ways, and that facing the emotions that come with loss can enrich life moving forward.
Discover your inner resources for coping with grief
Grief and loss are powerful emotions. They are a part of caregiving and life that cannot be avoided, even before the pandemic. The Wellness Centre team understands, however, that it’s been especially hard to find healthy closure during these unusual times. WE invite you to join us online for an intimate and caring discussion on the topic of Embracing Grief and Loss with CMA Medeiros, certified Grief Recovery Specialist®. She will help you discover the resources that you already have within you to grieve fully and well.
Join us on a Wednesday evening to explore why it is so important to honour the grieving process and how to find a path to healing within a supportive community.

The community Wellness Centre in conjunction wth The Observatory on Aging & Society (OAS) invites you to participate in a one-hour virtual workshop focused on ageism awareness.
The OAS, a non-profit organization that has been active in Quebec for nearly two decades, has given itself the mission of improving the quality of life of seniors and facing the challenges of ageism as a form of abuse and its consequences within our society. The OAS wishes to change the way we look at aging and seniors. The OAS innovates by using various means to raise awareness among seniors, such as a comic strip it has created entitled: Ageism at a Glance, How Does it Happen?
This tool will be used to demystify ageism, promote care efforts towards seniors and foster healthy intergenerational relationships. The themes illustrated in comic strip fashion have been observed in various areas of our society, such as family, education, work, health, media and politics.
We look forward to an intergenerational conversation and productive discussion as we explore the timely topic of ageism together. To obtain login details for this free event please contact Jan Anderson, Community Organizer with the WE by the April 26 registration deadline.
This session is free of charge as part of a grant from the Québec Ami des Aînés (QADA) program.

Note: Naturopathy is not a regulated profession in the province of Quebec (unlike most other provinces). As such, naturopaths are limited in the level of care they can offer the public. Naturopathic plans include lifestyle and supplement suggestions. These are not to be construed as a prescription and are not meant to replace any current or future conventional medical care. Under no circumstances is a naturopath trying to impersonate a medical doctor. Also, the services of naturopaths are not covered by the RAMQ. The RAMQ website says that they may be covered only when provided in a facility (ie. hospital, CLSC, residential and long-term care centre, rehabilitation centre).

Counting your losses can be a dismal exercise but it doesn’t have to be.
Learn the Grief Recovery Method once, and apply the method throughout a lifetime of loss.
What is the Grief Recovery Method exactly?
-
it is a step-by-step action plan that starts with unlearning the conventional thinking about grief and loss and then learning the tools to deal with unfinished business and relearning that fond memories don’t have to lead to a lingering pain.
-
it offers an effective way to say “goodbye” in order to lighten up and open to that which appears around the bend of our life’s journey.
-
it addresses hearty topics like unmet hopes, dreams and expectations of a future not to be, and the things we wished had been different or better or more
About our Presenter: CMA Medeiros
- Having moved 27 times across 5 countries, she is well tuned to bearing losses of all kinds, including break ups (some happy and some sad) to the death of her dear Mum 5 years ago, and Gramma 4 years ago, and Auntie 3 years ago, all of whom were awesome Quebecoise women of strength and dry wit and deep loyalty to family. My Mom’s death was a huge blow, and I started a whole new search to find relief. I finally came across the Grief Recovery Method, which is simple (not easy) and practical and effective. My life changed for the way better, so I became certified to share this work with you and yours! I teach the Grief Recovery Method online (so you can be based anywhere!) both to individuals and groups.
Join us for the information session on November 16th and decide if you want to take the course.
- Starting November 23rd, Tuesday nights for seven weeks on Zoom, 7pm to 9pm
- There will be a short break during Christmas with sessions resuming on January 11th 2022
To register, send an email to Claire: cquenville@jhpartners.net

The education system in Quebec is unique in many ways. Language laws dictate who is eligible to attend school in English and who is not. Parents and newcomers may find it hard to navigate the school system. The session “School Registration and the English School System in Quebec” will feature a panel of professionals from Central Quebec School Board to help answer your questions.
This online event is for you, if you’ve ever wondered:
- Is my child eligible to attend school in English?
- When and how do we register for Kindergarten, elementary school and high school?
- What school(s) can my kids attend based on where I live? If I am willing to drive my kids to school can they attend a school in another sector of town?
- What are the options in terms of preschool, Pre-K, programme passe-partout, and before- and after-school daycare and how do we access them? What are the related costs? And what services are offered in each program?
- Grade names here differ from those elsewhere. What is meant by cycle 1 and 2 and sec. 1, 2, etc. ?
- Is it true parents of elementary students are often required to pay for noon-time surveillance if their children eat lunch at school? If so, how does that work and what does it cost?
- Why do we have to purchase so many supplies each fall for kids attending public school. Doesn’t the school board provide these supplies? Who will give me the list of what materials my child needs and when?
- I live on the south shore; when will there be an English elementary school on my side of the St-Lawrence?
- What is all the fuss about school boards being replaced by service centres? What impact will this have on my child’s education and our local English-speaking community?
- Québec schools seem to put a lot of emphasis on provincial exams; at what grade do these exams start? How does QCSB compare to other local boards in terms of exam results?
- What is the difference between Québec’s adult education and DEP programs and CEGEP? Can we access these programs in English in Québec City? How do we apply? What programs are available and are there any fees for them?
