3rd Monday of February, Every Year

The 3rd Monday in February every year is a civic holiday in Ontario called Family Day. However at Ottawa Chiropractic & Natural Health Centre, we celebrate it as “National Health Day” – a day when we encourage our patients to think about their own health and the health of their families, and the definition of “health” and what that means to us.

This year, National Health Day is on February 19th, and it’s a great day to get out and do something healthy, or experiment with a new food or sport!

Ottawa’s mayor has even written a declaration about National Health Day, which we have been receiving every year since the inception of the holiday over a decade ago. Dr. Z has also written several articles about the holiday and what it means to the health of our community. And he’s even prepared a doctor’s note for you to be able to take advantage of this day for health!

3rd Monday of Every Month*, 12:30 pm

Awesome Abs is our free, half-hour core strength workout presented by Tanya Wakefield, personal trainer and exercise therapist for Ottawa Chiropractic & Natural Health Centre. Each month Tanya will vary the exercises that she does with the group.

This is a full participation session designed for intermediate to advanced individuals. There is a room available for anyone who needs to change into exercise clothing. Space is limited so sign up early!

*If the Monday is question is a holiday the session will be held the following week.

OCNHC Charity Bake Sale

Benefiting Big Sky Ranch Animal Sanctuary

Tanya & Kelly will be selling homemade treats at our clinic to benefit Big Sky Ranch Animal Sanctuary in Kemptville. BSR is a No-Kill facility that accepts all types of animals and whenever possible, they match eligible rescues with permanent homes. The ranch also serves as a permanent home for many animals that cannot be placed in private homes for healthcare or behavioural reasons. BSR is the largest, No-Kill sanctuary of its kind in Eastern Ontario.

For more information please visit their website at bigskyranch.ca.

We believe that all animals deserve a second chance without a time limit.
