I thought subscribers to this list might be interested in the Healthy Communities Conference taking place in June in St. Jacobs. For more information please visit our web site http://www.opc.on.ca/ohcc. Ontario Healthy Communities Coalition Annual Conference "We are sowing the seeds...are we reaping the harvest?" Ontario Healthy Communities Coalition's fourth annual conference takes place June 11-12, 1999 in Woolwich Township. Come experience a uniquely rural, highly participatory, fun event. Woolwich Township is home to St. Jacobs, Elmira and other historic villages. It is a place where horse-drawn buggies compete for road space with cars and trucks. And where local shop owners struggle with a proposed 'big box' store. With respect for the past and looking to the future, Woolwich Healthy Communities asks, "We are sowing the seeds...are we reaping the harvest?"
