Congratulations to our newest Community Health Board member Ash Fahie!! We are so happy to have you join us on the Southeastern Community Health Board!

For the next few weeks, we will be featuring our student CHB members from across the province who are graduating from various programs.

Today we are featuring Ashley Fahie, from the Southeastern CHB who is graduating from Mount Saint Vincent University with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) with Major in Psychology and Minor in Neuroscience.

Ashley, who joined her CHB recently, had this to say about her experience, "So far I have learned that no one person sees through the same eyes, and that is why it's important that we have people to stand by us in our communities. I would encourage students to get involved with the CHB, or other community involvement, because it can show you the things that are bigger than yourself. It reminds you how important it is to give back to others, and gives you the opportunity to see for others and for others to see for you."

Congratulations, Ashley, on your graduation and thanks so much for choosing to be a part of our CHB team!

What a great walk we had for NS Walks day! We partnered with Mineville Community Association and Hike Nova Scotia and gave out reflective vests to all who participated. Thanks also to Edward Zhu you donated some of our reflective bands. It was a beautiful day to be active and connect in community. If you want to see more walking opportunities Hike Nova Scotia has a list!
