Join Us For an Evening With Dr. David Suzuki

October 21, 2009

davidsuzuki1On Friday, November 13th, I’ll have the honour of thanking Dr. David Suzuki for his opening keynote at the annual convention of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors in Toronto.

Dr. Suzuki is one of my heroes – this is a big deal for me. But it’s also a big deal for everyone who joins us – as part of his commitment to reducing his carbon footprint, most of Dr. Suzuki’s appearances are via videoconference. This is a rare opportunity to see him in person.

This presentation by Dr. David Suzuki will mark the opening of the OAND annual convention, which focuses this year on the connection between the environment and health. Dr. Suzuki will present his keynote address, “The Challenge of the 21st Century: Setting the Bottom Line”. It’s open to the public, and I thought some of you might be interested.

Ticket Information

Ticket’s are $36.00 +GST.  To make things even better, for every ticket sold StoneTree will donate $10 to our local Environment Network to put towards their “Outdoor Classroom”.

Tickets can be purchased in person here at the clinic, or the Collingwood Environment Network.  Or you can get them online here. If you’d prefer to buy online, but still want to make sure we make the $10 donation on your behalf, just email us at the clinic or call 705-444-5331 and let us know you bought a ticket and we’ll do our part. It’s the honour system all the way around. :)

I hope to see you there!

The Free and Easy Way to Health: The StoneTree Clinic Walking Club

May 6, 2009

One of the greatest challenges to becoming more active is that for many people, fitness can be a lonesome, unappealing idea.  To help make it easier, we’re excited to announce that we’ve started our free StoneTree Walking Club. It’s fun, friendly way to add more activity to your life.

We meet weekdays, rain or shine, for a 45-minute walk on the trails and streets of Collingwood, led by one of the StoneTree team. The walks are free, and open to everyone  You don’t need to be a patient – bring a friend if you like!

For the current days and hours, check the main Walking Club page.

We meet at the clinic in downtown Collingwood. No special skills or equipment required – just dress for the weather.

This is an easy way to get outside and get moving, and having someone to walk with always makes things more enjoyable.  I hope to see you there!

-Tara

PS – If walking’s too slow for you, you can try the great Collingwood running clinics offered by Sue Underhill and Dr. Ruth Hitchcock at www.runrunrun.ca. They offer Learn to Run and 10K clinics that make running a lot of fun!
