Belong­ing to the Cal­gary Ostomy Soci­ety (COS) and the United Ostomy Asso­ci­a­tion of Canada (UOA) is a great way to learn more about how to take care of your­self in respect to the new changes your body has gone through. At the meet­ings there are pro­fes­sion­als who teach about diet, new prod­ucts, and cover many other top­ics relat­ing to Ostomy life. There are new friend­ships just wait­ing to be made.

It is impor­tant that we reach out and con­nect in our com­mu­ni­ties. Some­times we may not feel that we need to con­nect, but oth­ers may need you to con­nect with them. Lis­ten­ing and shar­ing is heal­ing for every­one involved. Come and get involved. You never know what may come about.
