We are connected in many ways. Relationships between, and amongst, people living, working, and playing in our communities are essential for the health of all community members. The Bragg Creek & Redwood Meadows Wellness Network makes it simple and meaningful for everyone to listen, share, and come together. We are a local network rooted in community care. We connect neighbours, groups and organizations to do more together and build strong relationships to amplify community well-being. We all have essential roles in caring for each other to improve our social, economic, and environmental factors to benefit everyone.
As a Network, we continue to focus on engagement and creating connections. Our work to understand our communities, prioritize, plan, implement and evaluate our activities has resulted in new programs in Bragg Creek. Thank you to the network members who are contributing to these efforts.

These are places for discussion, laughter and friendship, uphold privacy and confidentiality, and help café members feel connected to others on the same or similar journey. They are held on the first Monday of the month at the Snowbirds Chalet, 19 Balsam Avenue. Drop in and join anytime. Contact: Jane at Braggconcafe@gmail.com
