Hello CHIGAMIK Family!
We hope everyone is managing well during this pandemic.
Although we had to postpone in-person health promotion and community programming, many CHIGAMIK programs and services have moved to virtual formats, including one-on-one mental health counselling, Traditional Healing sessions and community programs. These programs are FREE for anyone living in North Simcoe Muskoka.
