| About Us |
The Ottawa Scleroderma Support Group is open to anyone looking for information on Scleroderma. We meet from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month, from September to June. Meetings will be held at the Centre Communautaire Richelieu-Vanier, 300, Avenue des Peres Blancs, Ottawa. (off Marler Avenue, from Montreal Road and St. Laurent Blvd., on bus route #5,)
Our meetings are very informal and mostly a time for sharing and helping our members cope with this illness. Help is also available by telephone or e-mail for those who cannot attend the meetings. Hospital and home visits are also available.
The schedule below lists meetings until June 2010. The December and June meetings are social events for meeting others so family and friends are encouraged to attend these two meetings in particular. For more information please contact Aline Laporte.
