π§΅ Let's talk about the Grand River Transit business plan! We'll be participating in next week's public input session on Wednesday, April 16, and maybe you should too!

My family has belonged to Community Health Centre for years - itβs wonderful. Usually we see one of the Nurse Practitioners rather than a Dr. We have access to social workers, chiropodist, dietitian, nurse, lab techs too.
