Local women have come together to put on a free event about health. Speakers will cover issues ranging from financial to physical health.
The event is set for Friday at the Kemptville Campus Cafeteria (Catered Affairs), beginning at 6:00pm. Wine, cheese and power bowls will be served and door prizes handed out.
There is no cost to attend, but feminine hygiene products are being accepted in support of local women’s shelters.
Organizer Samantha Rivet-Stevenson says she’ll be talking about financial roadblocks faced by women, including lower earnings and taking time off to care for family.
Christine MacMillan, a pelvic floor physiotherapist from Kemptville Physiotherapy Centre, will be speaking about pelvic floor health.
Rivet-Stevenson says Rebecca Cronk, owner of Get Cronk’d Fitness Studio, will discuss the importance of lifting weights.
