HOME     ABOUT WCHS

Enthusiastic WCHS members from Vancouver Island  and the Gulf Islands represented the Society on Saturday and Sunday, January 18 - 19th, at the Victoria Health Show.

Located in the Victoria Convention Centre (next to the Empress Hotel), this event attracted approximately 6,000 visitors, most of whom were already interested in health-related alternatives.  Many hundreds stopped by the WCHS booth to ask questions about homeopathy and to take home literature provided by the Public Education committee.

"Health and wellness shows are the most effective means for us to reach a huge number of people at one time," explained co-ordinator, Judy Chorney.  "For many, this was their first exposure to the word 'homeopathy' and we wanted that to be a good first impression.  For others, this was an opportunity to learn more about the benefits of homeopathy."

WCHS members covered the booth in teams of two or three, ensuring that there were plenty of experts available to answer whatever questions might arise.

The event also provided a rare opportunity for Island homeopaths and students to meet (sometimes for the first time) and share ideas and experiences.  As a result, several WCHS members from the Victoria area have decided to establish a regular study group.
