PART TWO – Information about Healthcare Services/Devices
The City and Province have some healthcare services available, if you feel that you would benefit from some in-home care or assistive devices. Please take a look at the following list and indicate (with a check mark or none for each item) whether you would be interested in finding out more about those points. Then, indicate your preferred method of receiving that information: Would you like to see the co-op offer a general information session in the Community Room? Would you like to receive written information at your unit? Would you like co-op staff to provide referrals and appropriate contact information?

PART THREE – Social and Educational Planning
DFC strives to offer a variety of programs and events to our membership, to enrich our existence and provide a convenient and welcoming venue for people to connect with their neighbours. These activities also combat the social isolation we might feel, from time-to-time.

These are some of our ideas. Please indicate (with check marks) items that may interest you, and feel free to add your own suggestions:

Bus trips to shopping malls or out of city destinations Trips to local art galleries and museums
