Dear Glen, 

Here is what's happening at HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre this week. 

Schedule Change:
Tai Chi is cancelled Thursday, March 5 but will return March 12.

The Shift's final session is March 5 from 6:30 - 9:00 p.m.. It was cancelled February 27 due to weather. 

To help protect yourself and others from contagious illnesses this winter (cold, flu, etc.) we recommend you implement the following practices: 

*	If you feel unwell, please stay home and cancel your HopeSpring appointments.
*	Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
*	Washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
*	Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
*	Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
*	Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

These small practices can help reduce the likelihood of contracting an illness. This information was taken from the  <https://hopespring.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=e54a64d013&e=ece80c31c3> Waterloo Region Public Health website.

Looking for online support with your health?

The Help With Your Health Online is a five week, interactive, web based series of workshops for those who are looking for support to optimally manage their health.

Each week participants will make a plan that supports healthy changes that are important to them. The workshops are designed to be practical, non-judgmental and accessible to a wide range of participants. The group will be sharing experiences and learning together; it is not about testing knowledge.

The Help With Your Health Online program can be accessed from any device with an internet connection and is designed to accommodate all levels of computer skills. The program is FREE to individuals across Ontario who are living with one or more chronic conditions, such as diabetes, chronic pain, high blood pressure, stroke, cancer, heart or kidney conditions, as well as their caregivers.

This online program begins on Thursday, March 5 at 1:00 p.m. To register please visit  <https://hopespring.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=c59c06a07c&e=ece80c31c3> Help With Your Health Online or call 1-844-301-6389.
