Welcome Sherri and Ashleigh!
We have two wonderful SLP Assistants who have joined our team this fall.
Sherri is a full-time student at VIU, so she will be available afternoons Monday to Thursday and all day Friday.
Ashleigh will be working full time, and is available Monday to Thursday.
The weather out there is frightful!
Please take care on the roads this time of year. Remember we have teletherapy as a service option if you don’t want to travel (or the road is washed out!).
If you need to change your appointment time please call or email as soon as you can, so we can make the necessary arrangements.
MCFD Upcoming Changes
Many of you have heard about the proposed changes to MCFD funding structures. At this point there are more questions than answers. We are actively working behind the scenes on provincial committees and organizations to get answers and to plan our services accordingly. Rest assured we are not going anywhere. We have been serving this community for 20 years, and will continue to be there for you, one way or another. Stay tuned for further updates.
Giving Back
We are proud members of 100 Women Who Care Mid-Island. Our motto is: “WE WRITE BIG CHEQUES!” By pooling our efforts, this group contributed over $46,000 last year to local nonprofits like Nanaimo Foodshare, Nanaimo Community Hospice, and the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation for breakfast programs. Our staff also volunteer on provincial Speech and Hearing BC committees, and participate in fundraisers for organizations like Autism BC, the Canadian Muscular Dystrophy Association, the Terry Fox Foundation, and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC.
