In response to the recent announcement by World Health Organization about the global pandemic of the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Health Centre has put together a plan to protect our clients and staff. The risk in London is still considered low and there have been no cases of community transmission (when a known source of exposure cannot be identified) in Ontario. However, public health agencies and governments are recommending social distancing measures to help curb the spread of the virus.
Effective Monday, March 16th, 2020 COMMUNITY PROGRAMS WILL BE CANCELLED and our leadership team will reassess their status in two weeks. This includes:
- Sit and Get Fit
- Seniors Drop In
- HOAC – Crafts and Bingo
- NELCE Cards and Crafts

There are two groups that will continue to run under the modification of scheduled appointments only (no longer drop-in):

We will be actively screening all clients at reception upon arrival and we will also be re-organizing the waiting rooms to accommodate social distancing. More updates will come over the next few weeks.

In an effort to build greater awareness and usage of the OEV Community Exchange project website and celebrate our local community, we are partnering with London Brewing Co-op to have a Sunday Skills Market on Sunday, September 29 from 12-3pm, at LBC, 521 Burbrook.
We would like “vendors” – residents like you with profiles on the OEV Community Exchange — to display their skills, services, and offerings in a unique and creative market format for more of the neighbourhood to see and learn about. We want to help you sell yourself! We’re sweetening the pot, with gift card honorarium to anyone who signs up to have a table/space.
Help us continue to grow this initiative and connect more neighbours to the gifts and skills that exist in OEV! Know someone who should be involved? Encourage them to create a profile and sign up for the event using the contact info below.
London Brewing Co-op is hosting a Truly Local Craft Beer Festival on Saturday, September 28, so this will make for a Truly Local Weekend! Tell your friends and neighbours!
For more information, or to register to have a table/space, please contact Shelly at shappy@lihc.on.ca or 519-660-0875 x254.
Hangout with our Youth Outreach Workers this summer in your neighbourhood. We’ve got a lot of fun things planned and everything is free! Check out our calendar to see what is happening near you!

“Humanity has nearly destroyed its world through global warming, but now an even greater evil lurks. The Indigenous people of North America are being hunted and harvested for their bone marrow, which carries the key to recovering something the rest of the population has lost: the ability to dream.”
