Taking STEPS to improve our health
TAKING STEP TO IMPROVE OUR HEALTH - Weekly Event Starting Feb 1
Join us while we walk around the Legislature demonstrating that WE are taking steps to improve our health, and we expect our government to do the same.
How do we move forward?
We see people across all provinces and even across many countries, struggling with their healthcare system. It can feel like the issue is too big and that each of us is too small to make a difference. If you’ve had this thought you are not alone. We would encourage you to pause and ground yourself in the moment. If you focus on the here and now, on your family and community, you will see more clearly that this is an issue you can have an impact on and one your community NEEDS you to advocate for.
