Services include polishing of teeth, fluoride treatments, x-rays and sealants. The two-hour appointments are free for children ages five to 12 years and cost only $10 for youth ages 13 to 19. Preliminary screening appointments are required and take place February 27 through March 29.

Community, Family and Child Studies is the new name for the department that prepares students to work in the human services sector or to pursue further education in fields like child and youth care, social work and social justice. "We chose our new name to emphasize the scope and focus of the programs we offer, " says department chair Anita Ferriss. "In addition to choosing a name, we identified vision and mission statements to guide us as we develop educational programming to meet the substantial need in our communities." The department's vision is "healthy community"; the mission is "one relationship at a time.”
Patty Foster, a valued member of Camosun’s nursing faculty, lost her battle with breast cancer last August. To honour her memory and kick start the Patty Foster Memorial Bursary, Camosun’s nursing department presents Sarah’s Daughters, a riveting and moving portrayal of a woman’s personal experience with a genetic form of breast cancer. If you like to attend "Sarah’s Daughters” it runs January 28th @ 7:30pm; January 29th at 2:00pm & 7:30pm.
Tickets are $24.00 per person and $18.75 for students and seniors. Tickets are available through the McPherson box office or vouchers can be purchased through Camosun College Nursing Faculty.
