Dr. Lopes will be going back out East to volunteer at NAIG 2023! She’ll be leaving on July 14th!

Pjila’si = means welcome in the Mi’kmaq language. Dr. Lopes is hoping to use some of the new words she’s learned from this Indigenous language because she has been selected to volunteer as a Sports Chiropractor at the upcoming @NAIG 2023 (North American Indigenous Games) in Halifax, Nova Scotia!

➡ Dr. Lopes will be working right up until the morning of her departure date, Fri. July 14th, and will be adding on some days to explore Nova Scotia, since this will be her first time in this province. She’ll return back to @361clinic on Mon. July 31st.

➡The North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) 2023 will bring together more than 5,200 athletes, coaches and team staff from 756 Indigenous Nations celebrating, sharing and reconnecting through sport and culture with the help of 3,000 volunteers.

➡The 10th North American Indigenous Games will host competitions in 16 sports within 21 venues and 52 fields of play across Kjipuktuk (Halifax), Dartmouth and Millbrook First Nation. Competition will begin July 15 and run through the 23rd of July.

➡Stay tuned to learn more about this upcoming event, and follow along to see what Dr. Lopes gets up to in a month’s time! We hope to share some of the cultural information that she has learned about as part of her training for this event.

➡Plan ahead and book your chiro appointments accordingly!

361 will be closed for the May Long Weekend from May 19th – 22nd

Just a heads up that we will be closed for the May Long weekend Fri May 19 – Mon. May 22! We will re-open on Tues. May 23rd with both Dr. Lopes and Enrico available that day.
 
🥳We will be ready to help you out after the Long Weekend in case you slept in and ended up in an awkward position OR opened up the cottage and strained something OR felt added tension after camping.
 
🥳Whether you have a staycation or vacation, we hope you have a restful and rejuvenating May Long weekend!
 
➡What will you be up to over the Long Weekend?

You are worthy of rest! The 361 team will be taking some time off between May-June

This is a friendly reminder that you are not a machine. You’re supposed to take breaks. You deserve rest.  With that being said, take note of the following time off that our @361clinic staff will be taking over the next few weeks, and plan accordingly:
 
😌 Dr. Lopes will be out of office May 12-19th.
 
😌 Michelle will be out of office the week of May 29th for 1 week.
 
😌 Enrico will be out of office for the entire month of June and will return as of Tues. July 4th.
 
➡Are you taking any time off for a staycation or vacation?

Woohoo we’re 11 years old today!

11 years ago, today, on May 1st @361clinic moved into @Mt_Pleasant_BIA and set up shop and the rest is history! We are grateful to all of you who have worked with 361 to be part of our 361 family!
 
🥳As Winston Churchill once said “If you find a job you love, you’ll never work again!”
 
🥳@361clinic we love meeting new people, hearing their stories, learning new things and helping you in some one way or another to live your lives optimally!  
 
🥳Do you have any special moments, memories or laughs that you’ve experienced over the years at 361?
 
🥳 We look forward to many more years of providing that “ONE” degree of difference!

Dr. Lopes will be taking a breather from May 12-19th! Please plan ahead!

 Just a quick heads up that Dr. Lopes will be taking a breather, and will be out of the office from Fri. May 12-Fri May 19th.  She will return to seeing patients after the May Long Weekend, on Tues. May 23rd.
 
😌If you’re running the Sporting Life 10K and want a tune-up before she leaves, or running the Ottawa Half/Full marathon at the end of May, book your tune-up upon her return.
 
😌During this breather, she will be unplugging as much as possible.  Please expect a delayed response time and she’ll get back to you when she plugs back in.
