Any teal sisters in Montreal?

I’m newly diagnosed and based on Montreal. Looking to connect with teal sisters in this area. Maybe we meet in a park with masks on and share stories. Or do the Walk of Hope together...

    Thanks @Flowergirl! I joined a Zoom support group in Montreal through Hope And Cope which was great. Thanks for the contact info for the regional OCC rep. Maybe they can connect me with more teal sisters in Montreal
