The TeaMWork team travelled to Pelee Island last weekend (April 22nd), to attend Canadian Mental Health Association – Windsor’s Pelee Island Health Fair! The event was a great success in offering healthcare and community support to the Migrant Workers from #Mexico living on the island who have limited access to resources. The event brought COVID-19 and Flu vaccines, healthcare, mental health support and addiction information, occupational health and safety information, and legal resources to the island! There were also many giveaway items and swag, along with a raffle for those in attendance. Thank you to all the partners of this event for their hard work and dedication:
Canadian Mental Health Association – Windsor, South Essex Community Council – SECC, Legal Assistance of Windsor, Roman Catholic Diocese of London, Active Care Response Team,Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers Inc.
