LIVING WITH CANCER? Come as you are. The red door is open! You are welcome!

Are you or someone you love living with Cancer? Now – there is a place in our community where you can meet people who are also living with Cancer; Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka has opened the RED DOOR. We welcome you to come in and experience the community that is Gilda’s Club!

The mission of Gilda’s Club is to provide free support for everyone living with cancer – men, women, teens and children – along with their families and friends, whatever the outcome. Our innovative Program is an essential complement to medical care providing support and networking groups facilitated by licensed mental health professionals, workshops and lectures plus a variety of social activities. Come in our RED DOOR and meet some people who are living with cancer – just like you.

Our new Clubhouse provides a welcoming home-like, non-residential environment for those living with and affected by cancer. Gilda’s Club and its distinctive program are centered on building community. Located on Quarry Ridge Road in Barrie (across the road from Royal Victoria Hospital beside Tim Horton’s) and serving all the residents of Simcoe, Muskoka, Parry Sound, Grey-Bruce and Dufferin Counties, Gilda’s Gilda's Club Simcoe Muskoka is now open!.

We encourage you to come as you are, to know that you are not alone and to experience firsthand social support, information sharing, friendship, laughter, hope and inspiration. You’ll find attached for your convenience a sample of our Program Calendar for June.

Membership is free – all you have to do is call us at (705) 726-5199 or email program@gildasclubbarrie.org and Ann, our Program Co-ordinator, or one of our trained volunteers will get you signed up for a New Member Meeting. It is that simple.

Please call or email today and take the first step towards becoming a member of Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka. You are not alone ~ our RED DOOR is open.

Looking forward to meeting you,

Kristen Dawson,
