TeamMS is a complimentary program to the MS Walk, RONA MS Bike Tour and other fundraising events.
Every year in Canada thousands of participants join together to take the TeamMS challenge and walk, run, cycle or golf on behalf of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.
We invite you to join with at least three of your friends, family and co-workers to create your own team. Experience the camaraderie and excitement of TeamMS while helping to further the fight against multiple sclerosis.
For our corporate partners it’s a chance to socialize outside of the office while promoting company unity, pride and team spirit.
Our TeamMS staff will reduce the demand on your time and resources with on-going support and motivational activities and incentives. This includes:
* Establishing TeamMS goals, plans and activities;
* Help registering your team;
* Provide tools to assist with recruitment and fundraising efforts including a Team Captain’s Handbook full of hints, tips and advice;
* VIP treatment including team captain gifts, team photos and the opportunity to win great team prizes and awards

Over 450 staff and more than 600 volunteers are available to provide care in your home.

The Bernard Betel Centre for Creative Living

OUR ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY
The Bernard Betel Centre for Creative Living provides a vast number of essential services to seniors and their family members in the community. Unlike any other seniors’ centre, we operate a community health-centre on site. The La’Briyut Wellness Centre has health screening clinics, nutrition and social service counseling, and health promotion programs available either free of charge, at very low cost to our users.
As an organization committed to the well-being of seniors, we are constantly striving to improve conditions for the elderly at a local level and beyond. Our Social Action Committee was instrumental in establishing senior fares on the Toronto Transit Commission (Metropolitan Toronto’s public transportation system). As well, we successfully applied for traffic lights and a bus shelter at the corner near our building. The Social Action Committee continues to fight for seniors’ rights and recently sent a delegation to the Provincial Government to protest possible closing of the local Branson Hospital.
Other vital services that we offer to the community are our Outreach Programs , in which volunteers make visits and telephone calls to home-bound seniors who would otherwise be isolated. A kosher meals on wheels program is another service that is extremely important to seniors and family members who might be taking care of them
