To our SOAHAC clients and community:

Thank you for your continued trust in SOAHAC as a partner on your journey to greater well-being over the past year.

We wish you peace, good health, and a bright path forward in the coming year.

Please note: our offices will be closed for a holiday break starting December 24 at 1pm, and re-opening on Friday, January 2, 2026 at 8:30 am.

If you are aware of any prescription refills that will be needed during our upcoming break, please be sure to ask your pharmacy to forward a refill request before our clinic closes. This will help us ensure your medications are not interrupted while we are away.

If you’re in need of medical attention during this time, please visit a walk-in clinic, urgent care centre, or hospital.

The holiday season is a time of warmth, togetherness, and reflection. But for many Indigenous families in our community, it can also be a time of quiet struggle — where the joy of the season is dimmed by hardship and uncertainty.

On Giving Tuesday, you have the power to bring warmth, joy, and belonging to Indigenous families across southwestern Ontario. Give today to help children find joy in the holiday season, and to help families celebrate with a delicious meal that feeds bodies and spirits

Your gift will be matched — up to $10,000. Double your impact this season. Give today.
