WORLD OSTOMY DAY – SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2009
PLEASE MARK THIS DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR
Three years ago, the Winnipeg Ostomy Association (WOA) held a BBQ in Assiniboine Park to celebrate World Ostomy Day (WOD). It was very successful in the fact that everyone had a great time, the weather cooperated and we won first prize for our event Canada wide. Another exciting event is in the planning stage at this point. We are going to go with another BBQ but with the events held indoors. More information will be forthcoming. Please make plans to attend with your family and friends and spread the word. Watch for more details in your next newsletter and at the meetings.
World Ostomy Day (WOD) is celebrated worldwide every 3 years on the first Saturday in October. The aim of World Ostomy Day is to improve the rehabilitation of Ostomates worldwide by bringing to the attention of the general community and the global community the needs and aspirations of Ostomates and their families.
