On August 20th, 2020 the OILRC hosted its first ever outdoor Creative Expressions session! It was a BLAST! Our afternoon session took place at Britannia Beach under the Trolley Station where we had plenty of room to space out, while also enjoying each other’s company. If you are interested in joining us for a safe and fun outdoor experience, please RSVP with Amy via email (peersupport@oilrc.com) or 613-613-236-2558 ext 222 to reserve your spot. Stay tuned for our September calendar for more details on upcoming Peer Support programming!
Last month in July, we had our first in person outing since the COVID-19 outbreak began. A few members came out and joined us for a few hours at the beach. We wore masks and socially distanced. We caught up and enjoyed some laughs as well as the beautiful fresh air! Our first event back in person was definitely a safe success!
