No, everyone is welcome! If a program is for a specific age group, it will be specified in the program description and/or poster.

Most programs are available on a drop-in basis, and you can register for the program on-site. If a program requires pre-registration (e.g.: OASIS, Pilates, Lighthouse), it will be noted in the description. Register by sending an email to communityhealth@cscno-wnchc.org or by filling out this Community Registration Form. WNCHC places program applicants’ request for community health programs on a waiting list if the program is at full capacity.

No, all programming is offered free of charge. Ontario Health funds all our services and programs and community health centres may not charge individual clients for these services. However, there is a fee when clients wish to purchase certain supplies or equipment: such as scrapbooking items, specialty workshop kits or other equipment.

On occasion, qualified experts and instructors may be retained to offer specific programs and a small fee may apply to offset the cost. It is the West Nipissing Community Health Centre’s intent to keep all programs at no cost or at a low cost to allow maximum participation.
