the program.
Ms. Farina Shiddiqui, Coordinator of Heart and
Stroke Foundation, Brampton, gave a short introduction about the

time such a program was conducted for a Nepalese community within
the GTA. She further mentioned that she would like to support a

the future.
Dr. Ilaman, on behalf of H&SF made a presentation
about the early signs and symptoms of heart problems and stroke and
