What is it?        
Our day program aims to provide a comfortable place where participants will benefit from taking part in activities that are supportive, creative, and therapeutic as well as fun.  You are welcome to join in planned activities or relax in the garden, listen to music, read, play games, or work on your own special project.  Activities such as Journal Writing, Massage, Therapeutic Touch, Manicure and Makeup sessions, Meditation, Reiki, Water Colour, Beading and Reflexology are being planned.  It’s up to you. 

Who is it for?      
Anyone living with cancer or other advanced illnesses is welcome.  The building is wheelchair accessible.  Space may be limited so please call to register.

When and Where?
Every Wednesday from 10 AM to 3 PM at Hospice.  Lunch is included. Parking is available.  Call for next date. 

Why come?
