On Friday, Feb 20th 1-3pm we are hosting a meaningful workshop here at DALA. Join us to take steps for social transformation to end racism with a Heart Light Card Workshop.

Heart Light Cards inspire reflection and action, helping us move through guilt, anger, or shame. The card workshop helps us to access inner wisdom and to remember our inherent worth, dignity, and power to lead from the heart in repairing the harm of racism.

Limited space, please pre register with the link below. This is a free event. Email Aly at alyc@digbydala.com with any questions!

MYTH: Internationally trained doctors get an easy path into Nova Scotia’s healthcare system.

FACT: They must meet Nova Scotia Health’s strict training and licensing standards before they care for patients.

With Canada producing just 7.5 new doctors per 100,000 people, healthcare professionals from around the world are a vital part of care in Nova Scotia and communities like Digby.
