November has been a busy month for Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes as the remainder of our services moved into their new homes. We are pleased to announce that our primary care clinic, GAIN team and CCCKL support teams, such as Finance and IT, moved into our new Campus as 21 Angeline Street North in Lindsay.

We also completed minor renovations at our old primary care clinic space, located at 152 Angeline St. N in Lindsay, and moved in members from our Community Support Services team. This move also meant we said goodbye to our original headquarters, located at 34 Cambridge St. South in Lindsay.

Please contact us at 705-324-7323 if you have any questions about our moves or where you will access CCCKL services going forward.

We can't wait to see everyone at our new home!

Thank you to our friends at Crayola Canada for their recent donation to Community Care! This generous of supplies will be used by our Adult Day Program clients for some of the many crafting activities we provide. 

Donations like these are fundamental in helping provide supplies for our Adult Day Program activities. We are very pleased to have a community partner like Crayola!

Offered in partnership with the City of Kawartha Lakes Family Health Team, Walk in the Halls provides the chance to walk in a warm, safe, and fun environment during the winter months. The program is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Step count logs and a limited number of pedometers are available so participants can track their progress.

The walking program begins on November 7 and will run over the winter months every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00 – 7:00pm at L.C.V.I., located at 260 Kent St. W. in Lindsay. No pre-registration is required. Call us at 705-324-7323 ext. 165 or email wellness@ccckl.ca for more information. 

The Hospice Services Living With Cancer Support Group is for those who are currently living with cancer, newly diagnosed and/or undergoing treatment. This is a safe space where participants can feel connected, explore challenges they’re facing, voice their fears, be heard and understood, share laughter and tears, and find hope.

The group meets on the second Monday of each month from 2:00-3:00 pm on Zoom. Call 705-324-7323 ext 507 for more information.

Clients of our Adult Day Program were treated this month to some beautiful fall crafting! The final results are spectacular and clients were able to take their seasonal fall inspired pumpkins home to their loved ones.

Our Adult Day Program provides seniors and people with special needs with a chance to get out and socialize, partake in various activities and exercises, and enjoy staff-prepared lunch and snacks together. While our clients are busy having fun, their caregivers can use this time to take a well-deserved break.

Participants at our Diners Club on November 7th were treated to a visit from Peterborough Police Canine Officer Dillon and his Police Service Dog Gryphon. Office Dillon provided a presentation and demonstration of the work he does with PSD Gryphon.

Our Diners Club takes place in a community setting and is focused on creating opportunities for people with special needs and seniors to stay connected and engaged while enjoying a wonderful meal. Visit our website or call us at 705-324-7323 to learn more and register!
