Here is a rainy day activity for your little ones!

Attention Families: Just received this update from the Kimberley Medical Clinic. We would like to make you aware that there has been a recent increase in COVID-19 cases in Kimberley. As such, we will be significantly limiting our in-person appointments for at least the next few weeks to avoid traffic flow and patient contact within the clinic. We greatly apologize for this inconvenience, but are confident that if the members of our community avoid contact with others outside of their household and limit non-essential shopping and travel, we will be back to functioning with more in person appointments available. Sincerely, The Physicians of the Kimberley Medical Clinic
