WINTER MOBILITY DEVICE RESEARCH STUDY
The University of Manitoba is conducting a research study to assist older adult mobility aid users to increase their community participation during the winter.
Participants needed for the study are community members, aged 70 or older, who use a mobility aid such as a cane, walker or manual or power wheelchair, and feel limited in their ability to go out in the winter.
The participant will work with an occupational therapist to identify community–based activities that he/she would like to try in the winter. Together, they will put a plan in place to participate in these activities over the winter.
If you are interested in participating in this study, please contact:
Jacquie Ripat at the University of Manitoba by phone at 204-789-3303 or email: [email protected]
HSSI just celebrated 20 years in operation.
20 YEARS!
Time flies when you are having fun.
On June 15th, anyone who has ever volunteered for HSSI was invited to a Volunteer Appreciation BBQ. The event was very well attended and all enjoyed a terrific dinner and many door prizes, followed up with cake and ice cream.
An added bonus to the evening were cleverly crafted Headingley-themed centerpieces for each table. Marion Templeton, you outdid yourself on these. They were the talk of the event.
A very heartfelt thank you to RBC, Roblin & Harstone branch, for providing HSSI with the opportunity to access a grant that provided the funding for this event. Along with this, 5 RBC employees came out and volunteered their time and energy to make this evening the success that it was.
