Wednesday July 5 @ 6:00pm in the Community Room
Members are welcome to come down and help cook a great noodle dish. These yummy dishes will then be circulated to members who want / need. This will be a fun way to connect with one another and help out members of our community. Many dishes will also feature produce directly from our co-op garden! How cool is that?

Saturday July 15, 9am – 6pm
DFC is excited to announce that we will be hosting a bus trip to the 6 Nations of the Grand River, a vibrant Haudenosaunee community situated along the Grand River just outside of Brantford Ontario. Guests will enjoy a day of sightseeing, learning and get to take in two amazing programs developed by the 6 Nations Tourism Board;
Where Cultures Meet @ The Kayanse Long House
On The Water – Canoeing or Paddle Boarding.
We will also have time to visit museums, galleries and shops.
This trip is open to any members that are interested in attending. It will be a great chance to get out of the city and connect with the rich history and traditions of the Haudenosaunee people. There is space for up to 30 members to attend and a refundable $10.00 fee to reserve your spot.
If you would like to attend or get more information please contact

What is the Helping Hands Program?
The aim of the program is to pair senior co-op members (or co-op members experiencing some mobility challenges) with other members who can help with basic errands or chores. Some examples of the kinds of support might be:
o Picking up groceries / supplies
o Picking up prescriptions
o Assisting with light household projects (i.e. moving some furniture etc)
o Accompanying individual to important appointments
o What volunteers can’t do: Banking, Laundry, Personal Care, Routine House Cleaning
How does it work?
o Once you are confirmed to be taking part in the program you will contact me directly with some specific help / assistance that you might need and when you need it (advance planning is key).
o I will then reach out to co-op members that have offered their help and see who is available to assist. Once an effective match is made, I will put the two members in touch with each other.
Right now we would like to hear from members who might need some support AND members who can provide some support. If you would like to take part in this program or would like to get more information, please feel free to contact me directly.
