ATTENTION: The date of the Open House has been changed to September 6.
Connecting the dots.
That’s what the Wellness Centre represents to those that lived part of their Cancer Journey with us.
New and old connections.
Connections with volunteers, with staff and with other participants.
And we invite you to connect the dots with us at our Open House!
Wednesday, September 6, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Hope & Cope Cancer Wellness Centre
4635 Côte-Sainte-Catherine Road
Montréal, Québec H3W 1M1
We will celebrate in style because it’s also the “Sweet Sixteen” survivorship year of the Wellness Centre. A place where we help you to connect with others, to feel less isolated.
And after too many years, it’s time to reconnect—in person!
If this is your first time, come and visit what the Wellness Centre has to offer.
If you’ve only used the gym, come and try out the art or relaxation programs—or vice versa!
It’s going to be a great time. And like all great parties, bring a friend! The more the merrier!
We have tons of activities planned. Best of all, they’re free!
Take a look at the schedule below and come back to this page regularly to see updates. If you want to receive an automatic reminder, sign up for our newsletter!
Remember, the open house is all about YOU! We hope to see you there on September 6! (If it rains, we will still hold the open house. But we don’t want that! So if you have a special relationship with Mother Nature… We couldn’t do it last week.)
