Please join Catherine Culligan and walk to help the fight against MS.

Can you imagine...

Having multiple sclerosis means that one morning you may not be able to walk when you wake up. Or that you may suddenly have impaired vision. Or that your memory will fail you for no apparent reason. The symptoms of MS are many and vary for everyone. It's estimated that approximately 55,000-75,000 men and women in Canada have the disease, and every day about three more people are diagnosed.

...a future without MS

I've registered for the MS Walk because I want to do something for everyone who lives with multiple sclerosis. With your help, together we can make a difference.

Halo l Rodrigo Prade: ADENTRO l Boston Terrier & Pug Rescue Reunion l MWR Reading: Dianne Warren and Joan Thomas

March 21 to 24 

Tara Players Theatre Company, 654 Erin Street

Halo by Josh Macdonald presents questions about faith, life and love, with a dose of humour. An image of Jesus appears on the side of a Tim Hortons restaurant in Nately, Nova Scotia, and life for the town residents will never be the same. 

Is it a miracle, an accident or perhaps a hoax?
