The Health Centre will be closing for the Holidays starting December 23, 2021; if you need rapid testing kits, prescriptions, or other services, please reach out this coming week to arrange accordingly.

Vaccinated individuals will need to isolate for at least five days, pending a negative PCR test. Please do your best to keep yourself and your community safe in the coming days, as we all look forward to a COVID-free holiday season.
Public Health asks people answer calls from private numbers as this is how calls will appear for the purposes of contact tracing and reporting test results to patients. PCR tests can be booked via the Health Centre. They also request members continue to take all precautions, both in and out of the community as cases are rising in the region, with 177 cases reported in the province today. Addictions and mental health personnel remain available at +1 (506) 688-3721. Rapid testing kits can be picked up at the Health Centre or delivered in the community by calling Security at +1 (506) 447-8721.
