As part of Parkinson Society British Columbia’s (PSBC) mandate to provide information and services to British Columbians across the province, we have been making an effort to increase the quality and frequency of online events. In light of this, as well as the pivotal role active living plays in Parkinson’s disease treatment, PSBC presents its first ever Active Living Webinar Series every Tuesday throughout the month of August. Each webinar will take place between 10:00am and 11:00am PST.
