Hoping to make up for fundraisers lost to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Copper Island Health and Wellness Centre is hosting an online auction.

The volunteer-run clinic located in Blind Bay offers a Saturday walk-in clinic as well as a mobile lab, nutrition workshops and other health services. Their future goals include expanding services to include full-time doctor and medical lab services. They also want to create virtual tele-health services and online training and learning events to promote health and social interaction during the pandemic.
