HAPPY THANKSGIVING
As we gather in gratitude this season, Thanksgiving offers an opportunity to pause, reflect and appreciate the connections that bring us together. It is a time to recognize the importance of kindness, community and supporting one another, while celebrating the diverse experiences and traditions that make our community special.
We also acknowledge the Indigenous Peoples whose lands we live and work on and honour their enduring cultures, histories and contributions.
From all of us at Friends & Advocates Peel, we wish you a warm, peaceful and meaningful Thanksgiving to all who celebrate.
JOINT PROGRAMMING
We're excited to announce a new collaboration between Friends & Advocates Peel and The Cross-Cultural Community Services Association (TCCSA)! Starting this fall, we'll be offering two exciting joint programming opportunities:
*Journey Neighbourhood - Brampton
*Community Connections - Mississauga
Join us at Hazel McCallion Central Library for monthly sessions focusing on building connections, sharing experiences, wellness, creativity and more! Stay tuned for upcoming dates and topics. We look forward to welcoming you and building community together!
STAYING HEALTHY THIS FALL
As the weather gets cooler and flu season approaches, October is a great time to take a few simple steps to protect your health and wellbeing. Here are a few tips for the colder months:
*Dress for the weather: keep warm with layers, a jacket, hat, and comfortable footwear.
*Take care of your body: Try to eat nutritious meals, stay hydrated, keep moving, give yourself time to rest and avoid spreading illnesses when sick, to others.
