Did you know that our office Elan Family Wellness Centre offers on site educational lunch and learn opportunities?  Here we are presenting to carya Bowmont Families Together and Bowwest  Community Resource Centre-two community groups that provide invaluable resources to many local residents. We hope to share information that our participants can take back to their workplace to support improved health and wellness for their partners and employees.

Not only was our office in the parade, but we also opened Elan for a Mom and Babe Sanctuary, for parents to feed, nurse, change bums, or just escape the sun and crowds.  The Simon House invited their neighbours for a BBQ Lunch. Here we are with a former practice member Ravi and Associate Health Minister (and friend!) Brandy Payne.    Scarlett and I en route to the Carya Pancake Breakfast held in Montgomery. Carya provides resources and support for families and seniors in our neighbourhoods.  Yee-haw! Its been a fun Stampede and we hope you enjoy this look at a few of our local events!
