In partnership with the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) and regional public bodies and community organizations, MCDC has been very active in developing strategies to facilitate access to health and social services in English. Among services provided by MCDC, we regularly publish informational booklets and flyers, hold regular information sessions and video-conferences on various health topics, organize special activities to promote healthy living habits and meet regularly with our public and community partners to raise awareness about the needs of the English-speaking community.

Exercise everyday even during Christmas..... Get out of the house for a walk to view the Christmas lights and decorations in the evening. If the weather prevents you from walking outdoors, make it enjoyable as well as useful by combining a holiday shopping trip with your exercise. Indoor malls are great places to walk. The holiday season usually means you will be in close contact with many different people, putting you at higher risk of contracting colds and flu, so don't forget to wash your hands!
