May Programming is Ready To Go at Port Hope Northumberland Community Health Centre
May programming is ready to go at the Port Hope Northumberland Community Health Centre.
A variety of diabetes workshops is always available at the centre (99 Toronto Rd., Port Hope) and sometimes off-premises in satellite locations. In May, check out the May 2 Heart Healthy workshop at 5 p.m. and their Just The Basics program May 16 at 5 p.m. A Just The Basics program is also offered May 28 at 9:30 a.m. at the Cobourg Community Centre at 750 D’Arcy St.
Something’s always cooking at the Port Hope centre, and a specialized diabetes-cooking workshop May 18 at 9:30 a.m. has the theme Dining In Season.
A new series of Men’s Cooking Club sessions begins May 16 at 10 a.m. (a $5 food cost per class applies), and you can enjoy fellowship along with the food May 25 at the Collective Kitchen workshop at 1:30 p.m. (an $8 food cost applies). Two other cooking workshops are planned May 9 – Come Cook With Us at 9:30 a.m. and Kitchen Is Open at noon (a $5 food cost applies).
Or if you’re more an eater than a cooker, don’t forget the Souper Douper Lunch served May 17, where they’re dishing it out from noon until the pot is empty.
