*ABOUT THE HALDIMAND ABILITIES CENTRE (HAC)

HAC is a partnership of the Alzheimer Society of Haldimand Norfolk, Brain Injury Services and CNIB Outreach. It offers supportive programs and services to individuals facing challenges related to Alzheimer's disease, dementias, acquired brain injury, physical or developmental disability, visual impairments and/or isolation.
 
In addition, HAC welcomes all members of the community. Even if you do not face challenges, we welcome you to Qigong classes. Qigong can work for everyone because it is 'customizable' to meet the needs of each participant.

HAC requests only a $3 donation from participants so that fees will not be a barrier for anyone.  However, if you are able, please be as generous as you can. Fees for the same Qigong classes I teach elsewhere are $12/class.

And, if you have a skill, service, or gift of knowledge that would benefit HAC clients, please consider volunteering.
