That’s the theme behind Centre 55’s Vacation Budgeting workshop next week, Monday, Feb. 27 from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Learn how to plan a vacation that will lead you with good memories instead of debt with this roadmap to plan a vacation that won’t bust the budget.
Has all of this money talk put you in the mood for a snooze? Centre 55 is the place for that, too. East End Community Health Centre is hosting a three-part sleep workshop series in March.

This workshop will teach you about causes of insomnia and other sleep problems, strategies to get a good night’s sleep and feel more rested, and where to get more information on sleep solutions. Mondays from 11:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. March 6, 13, and 20. Contact Shirin at 416-778-5808, extension 226 or Evonne at 416-691-1113.
