A note from Jasmin Dooh, of LAMP CHC, which is seeking the support from the community.

With the Annual General Meeting on September 16, I could really use your help inviting and recruiting people to attend. Please share this invite with your networks, volunteers etc. and post on your social media. We have a great keynote speaker André Picard and as well a surprise guest Dr. Andrew Boozary to get the conversation going for the town hall part. Dr. Andrew Boozary is a primary care physician, policy practitioner, researcher, and founding executive director of the Gattuso Centre for Social Medicine at the University Health Network. He completed his medical training at the University of Toronto and health policy training at Princeton University and Harvard University. His work at the intersection of health policy, social justice and equitable health care delivery aims to improve health outcomes for marginalized populations.

Play On! A Rick Abbot comedy: presented by Theatre Etobicoke
October 27, 28, 29, November 4 and 5, 8 p.m.,
November 6, 2 p.m.

A theatre group tries desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty author who keeps revising the script. When the author decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theatre during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax and a thoroughly hilarious romp!
