The Downtown Community Health Centre (DCHC) will be hosting its second annual community health fair this month. Designed to promote better health among area residents, the fair will raise the clinic’s profile, too. More than 500 people participated in last year’s fair. Weather permitting, this year’s fair should be even more successful.

12 pm to 4 pm
Where:
Oppenheimer Park, Vancouver
What:
Working with a variety of downtown eastside non-profits, DCHC will set up tents and offer a number of services and a dose of fun, including:
- HIV testing
- blood glucose testing
- information on counselling and tobacco cessation
- sketches on the subject of nutrition by a local troupe
- free watermelon … and more!
