Imagine Film Festival 
So I am knee deep in trying to select this year's films for the Imagine Film Festival and finalize our celebrity speaker. We are looking to take one or two movies out into the community while still hosting a couple in our lecture theatre. The films we show are free and I would like to get a good crowd this year. We tend to host our family event on the weekend and showcase the films during the week. I would love to hear from the community about what we can do to make it convenient for you to attend. For those who haven't been to Ontario Shores we do have a very comfortable lecture theatre that is great for movie watching.I hope this year's film lineup and speaker at the end of the month. Keep watching because tickets to our celebrity event go very quickly.

Mindful Music 
OK - sorry it took so long to get into the swing again. Needed some family time following Mindful Music/ Community Fun Day which I hope most of you had the chance to attend. I want to thank everyone involved from planning and participating and all the bands. It was great to see the community, patients and staff all come together. There was such a good vibe on that day and we hope we will be able to do it again next year. A special thanks to Brad for sharing his story and helping people to understand that mental illness or any illness does not define you as an individual. I have to run for now because planning for the Imagine Film Festival needs to move forward. Hope you and yours are having a great summer.
