Mother’s Day is just a little over a week away.
OK Radio contacted all of the Department of Health and Social Development’s (DHSD’s) along the coast to see what they will be offering the mothers in their communities.
In Goose Bay, they will be having a Mother’s Day Tea Drop-In for mothers only on Friday, May 11 at the DHSD on 14 Corte Real Road, beginning at 1 pm.
Transportation is also provided upon request.
In Rigolet, the DHSD will host a Mother’s Day barbeque at the community hall on May 11th at 12 noon.
The meal will consist of barbecued chicken and salads on the side; dessert will be given out to the mothers as well.
A slideshow will be running, and the mothers will also be given a pair of breast cancer socks; there will be games to play too.
In Makkovik, the DHSD will have a Mother’s Day dinner at 12 noon on Friday, May 11th as well.
It will be held at the Community Hall.
All mothers, grandmothers and children are welcome to attend.
OK Radio staff attempted to contact Postville, Hopedale and Nain, but were unable to reach anyone at this time.
We will have more information on the Mother’s Day events for the towns of Postville, Hopedale and Nain when it becomes available.
