Protecting staff and patients from exposure to COVID-19 is one of the pillars of the provincial pandemic plan. As part of this plan, we are all asked to practise social distancing. Community Wellness Program is now available online using Microsoft Teams.

Geocaching
Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.
