Here's a few comments from some of our attendees and exhibitors at our past Community Resource Fairs
"Although I went to pick up the Arthritis Society's material at the end of the event, I attended the event mostly as a member of the public.
From my point of view, I thought the display tables were very informative; I got my hearing tested in a van outside the Arts Centre. Most tables received entries for door prizes, which always creates interest; there was a variety of health related organizations as well as private businesses selling their products. Unfortunately I wasn't there all that long to take full advantage.
"All the displays have made me aware of all the resources available in our community"
