We've got a solution to get the whole family involved, in weekly tasks, with virtual get-togethers, and monthly in-person retreat days for families to make new friends.

In partnership with Alberta Blue Cross, CHANGE Health Community Program brings, led by Dr. Doug Klein, works with groups of families together to connect, learn and engage in fun activities related to physical activity, nutrition, mental health and social connection.
