Community Event - Sarnia - Adopt a Pig & Provide a Ride to Cancer Treatment
Looking to give back during the holidays? We are looking for volunteers to help us with the success of our Pigs of Hope campaign!
The Pigs of Hope campaign raises funds for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope transportation program, which provides rides for our neighbours to cancer-related appointments.
We need to get our piggies adopted for the holidays! People can adopt a piggy (bank), name it, dress it up and bring it to all their holiday parties! Feed it well and return it after the holidays with a full belly.
Volunteers needed to help with this fun and rewarding campaign! Help us get these piggies out in the community!
For more information, please email Theresa!

Community Event - Kingston - Fall Prevention for Older Adults
Falling is one of the major causes of injury among older adults. But many falls can be predicted and prevented. Often a few lifestyle and environmental changes can significantly reduce one’s risk of a serious fall.
Join us at Kingston Frontenac Public Library and KFL&A Public Health in November as volunteers from the KFL&A Public Health Falls Prevention Ambassador Program share their insights. You will learn how falls happen and ways to avoid falling. The one-hour presentation will be followed by a 30-minute Tai Chi demonstration. Light refreshments will be served, and each person will receive a tote bag of fall prevention resources.
Fall Prevention for Older Adults will be offered four times (each time from 2 to 3:30 p.m.):
- Friday, November 2, at Sydenham branch (4412 Wheatley Street in Sydenham)
- Thursday, November 15, at Isabel Turner branch (beside the Cataraqui Mall)
- Tuesday, November 27, at Calvin Park Branch (88 Wright Crescent)
- Thursday, November 29, in the auditorium of KFL&A Public Health (221 Portsmouth Avenue)
This free presentation is open to all older adults, their family members and caregivers, but seating is limited. To avoid disappointment, please register in advance with KFL&A Public Health, by phone at (613) 549-1232 ext. 1571, or by emailing FallPreventionRegistration@kflaph.ca .
