Parkland Crossing’s wellness lounge concept is turning out to be a big success.
They were able to get a grant from the regional health authority for the concept and they bought deck type furniture for people to relax in. They went to Canadian Tire and bought some furniture sets.
“I want people to and enjoy this space. Especially if they need to get some level of sunlight we have an abundance of both natural and artificial sunlight to boost people’s immune system and mental health. Just overall wellbeing. You just feel better being in this room.”
Jamie Harvey calls the space comfortable, easy to spend time in, easy to read, and a place you can make feel like home.
“The next stage in the Wellness Lounge concept is the user-generated art gallery. The walls in here right now are very plain, very bare. But we are going to be adding local artists to put paintings, photographs, drawings, any number of styles and verities, mediums of art up on display. ”
The first sets of paintings are products of the yard fringe program.
If you want to send in some of your art, Harvey encourages you to get in contact with him at Parkland Crossing.
