Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick and Western Community College have each launched initiatives supporting wellness in their communities. CCNB, the City of Dieppe and Place aux compétences collaborated on the creation and installation of five posters along a local nature trail. The posters invite walkers to slow down and immerse themselves in nature, through a practice inspired by the Japanese practice of forest bathing. Meanwhile, health care workers at Surrey Memorial Hospital can now take advantage of free massages provided by WCC RMT students. WCC Director of Strategic Partnerships Raj Hundal noted that the initiative will help RMT students gain the hands-on practice hours necessary for their RMT qualification.
