This week, we were pleased to welcome community health nurses from the Pictou County Community Health Centre to Summer Street as part of their Community Wellness Program!

On Thursday, participants, families, and caregivers had the opportunity to connect with nurses for voluntary blood pressure and blood sugar screenings, practical health advice, and information about local programs and resources.

With no appointment or health card required, the program offered a welcoming and accessible way for people to ask questions, learn more about their health, and connect with helpful supports. It's a wonderful example of what can happen when organizations work together to reduce barriers and support healthier, more connected communities.

Thank you to the team at the Pictou County Community Health Centre and their funding partners for bringing this valuable program to Summer Street!

There will be no programs for participants.

Our participants and staff were honoured to attend the Pictou Landing First Nation National Day for Truth and Reconciliation ceremony.

We are grateful to Pictou Landing First Nation for welcoming our group and for the opportunity to listen, learn and reflect together. Building understanding takes ongoing learning, conversation and strong relationships, and we value opportunities to learn from one another and strengthen those connections in our community.

The day was also a time to honour Survivors, their families and communities, and to reflect on the history and ongoing impacts of residential schools.
