Therapy Dogs are back at Red River College Polytechnic for the Fall Welcome! Come say hello to dogs from the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program. They will be attending campuses in Winnipeg, Steinbach and Portage. 

Animal and human interactions can offer many positive health benefits. For example, animals can help decrease our cortisol levels (a stress hormone), lower blood pressure, reduce feelings of loneliness, and help boost our mood. They are also fun to have around and offer us to chance to form unique and intimate bonds.  

Join us for the Fall Welcome, and ease into the term with a visit from a furry friend.
