HEADSTRONG - September Newsletter

We hope everyone had an amazing summer!

Bikes, Blades & Boards is a volunteer-based educational program led by dedicated committee members, community partners & volunteers. Due to increasing demand, our injury prevention program will now be offered to students within Grades 1-3 throughout the entire academic year (based on availability). We are looking forward to another successful year of educating students on the importance of helmet safety and injury prevention. Interested in getting involved? Applications are available on our website.

Last year, our Bikes, Blades & Boards program was delivered to 2,500 students across Hamilton, Haldimand-Norfolk and Niagara. We are currently looking for a 2019 Bikes, Blades & Boards sponsor. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor of our Bikes, Blades & Boards program please contact Rachel at [email protected] to discuss this great opportunity.

Courage - The Tragically Hip

HBIA has teamed up with the Ontario Brain Injury Association to bring the Peer Support Program to Hamilton. This volunteer-based program connects individuals with lived experience (the Mentor) to an individual who is living with the effects of ABI who requires the support (the Partner). This program is available to survivors, family members and unpaid caregivers free of charge. If you are interested in participating, referring a client to this program, or learning more about this program please contact our Peer Support Coordinator, Lindsay Bright at [email protected] or visit our website by clicking here .
