12th HOUSE HEALING ARTS

Bill C-51, currently in front of parliament, is seriously threatening our access to personal alternative health care choices. Usana Health Sciences will continue to set a gold standard but please check out www.stopC51.com or www.healthcanadaexposed.com if you care about your freedom of choice. Check it out! The consequences of Bill C-51 are even more far reaching, not in the least it will remove more than 70% of Natural Health Products from Canadians. Many others will be available by prescription only. Please don’t delay! Write your MP, Minister of Health and the Prime Minister today, to protect your personal freedom of choice. Bill C-51 is a proposed new law that favours drug companies and removes your right to natural health products.

Do your vitamins even dissolve?
Usana Health Sciences supplements are listed in the Canadian Pharmacological Standard and backed by
a medical advisory board. Independent research (UofA) supports the superior bio-availability of essential nutrients in these anti-oxidant formulas.

Summertime can be the perfect time to cleanse…

Wild Rose Herbal Detox, Liv-Rejuv, Candida-Aid and Slim-Tech programs are easy ways to lighten up, and to promote healing ofyour body systems.
Constitutional treatment versus suppressing symptoms?

Classical Homeopathy Support your unique emotional
response to life’s situations. On the physical, increase your vital resistance to acute infection and chronic disease.

Want to de-stress and improve energy flow?
Bio-Energy massage brings enhanced body
awareness and functioning. 30, 60 and 90 minute treatments include reflexology, hot stones, cranial-sacral, reikki and shiatsu.

PADDINGTON STATION FINEARTS CHILDCARE CENTRES

Paddington Station, winner of the City of Richmond's Award of Excellence, offers a quality Early Childhood curriculum enhanced by classes in music, dance and drama taught by specialist teachers. Our First Avenue location in the village (located at The Arts Connection), is a preschool program only---with classes for ages 3 and 4 year olds. At our No. 2 Road location, we offer Richmond's only flexible daycare program which also includes a structured preschool program in the mornings, just like our First Ave location.

If you require part time care for your child, why pay to hold a full week of daycare space when you don't need it? At Paddington Station, you will only pay for the time that you need. Combine ½ days and full days, add temporary or emergency days, whatever works for your lifestyle! Call our childcare coordinator at 604-241-0141 for availability.
