Homelessness is a major problem in Simcoe County. In Canada, homelessness has grown in size and complexity. Previously a crisis only of urban centres, it now reaches all areas and requires more services and resources. Today, in this country, it is estimated there are 35,000 people so described…… likely more! The homeless include men, women, youth, seniors, veterans, gender diverse, and mentally ill, of all races. This presentation by Our Health will examine how homelessness affects health both mentally and physically! 

September 30, 2021 marks the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

The day honours the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

Let's get moving on Sunday, September 18, 2022, at Perkinsfield Park for the annual Terry Fox Day in the Heart of Georgian Bay.
