This week wraps up with a couple of family-focused events today - there's a prenatal and postnatal lunch session at 11:30 AM and a deployment wellness workshop at 2 PM, both at the South Side Community Centre. Sunday brings Dog Walk Day, though the location is still being sorted out. Monday kicks off the new week with resume help for students and a French learning group meeting in the evening. The usual early childhood drop-ins continue at the RecPlex on Tuesday, and there's a mental health walk-in clinic Wednesday afternoon at the Family Wellness Centre.
