Dr. MacIntosh’s Story
“I don’t give because I can, I give because I care”. Dr. MacIntosh gives of his time, and provides gifts to the Northside/Harbourview Hospital Foundation because these hospitals care for his patients, his friends and his family. His favourite part of his job is visiting patients at the hospital and looking out at the water. He attributes the great care his patients receive while in hospital to the incredible staff who provide care for his patients. Read more →

COOKING CLASS
NUTRITION
😋 We know that eating more plants is definitely good for our health and well being, but we don’t always know how to do it.
😋 Chick peas are a wonderfully versatile and tasty plant based protein that are also full of fiber and other healthful nutrients.
😋 Join CHEF MIKE BLACK (and Boss Lady Monica Black & myself) for an afternoon we like to call a “CHICK PEA EXTRAVANGANZA!” We will learn about the health benefits of chick peas, taste some pre-prepared chick pea delicacies and make some of our own tasty chick pea dishes! You will also go home with a “surprise” in progress!
😋 Participants will each be asked to bring 1 can of chick peas (No added salt) to the class.
😋 We only have room for 20 people, so please register at: LMinCB@icloud.com if you are interested.
😋 NOTE: Our last class, Cooking With Tofu, was full within 36 hours. In order to give others a chance to participate, for the next 3 days, priority will be given to those who did not attend that class. If there are still spots available after that, they will be open to everyone. Feel free to email and get your name on the list. You will receive an email response confirming your registration.
😋Looking forward to seeing you there! It’s going to be delicious!
