What's New at Westbridge
July and August are our Weight Management Months – we will be starting our own ‘Chub Club’ and hosting a Walk-a-Thon raising money for the BP oil spill!With details to follow, our Chub Club will be focused on educating our clients on weight management and the health risks of obesity, and starting at-risk patients on a detailed, yet easy to follow, weight-loss program.
Our Walk-a-Thon will take place at the end of August – we are currently accepting donations raising money for Tri State Bird Rescue’s Oil Spill Response, to aid in the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, also known as the ‘British Petroleum Spill’. The following is an excerpt from their website:
Tri-State Bird Rescue and Research has been responding to wildlife involved in oil spills since 1976. Tri-State has a trained, dedicated staff on call 24-hours-a-day to respond to wildlife contaminated by oil spills anywhere in the world. Tri-State is one of only two organizations in the country that can professionally manage a response to a major spill. Rehabilitation of oiled wildlife is a complex, crisis-oriented endeavor. Tri-State takes a teamwork approach to oil spill training and stressing the need for regulatory agencies, responsible parties, state and federal wildlife professionals, colleagues in wildlife care, and concerned citizens to work together both in preparations for and response to oil spills.
If you have any questions in regards to the Walk-A-Thon or how you can help, please do not hesitate to call us at 905-285-0002 or contact us by e-mail.
