many generous donations from the people of the Tignish area. In 1974 a successful venture that took twenty-four years of Co-Operative struggle came to a close, with the opening of the Tignish Health Center Co-operative Association's very attractive building on . Ten years later, in 1984, the Health Center members watched as their mortgage went up in smoke. Today the Health Center provides the services of a resident full time doctor, part time doctor, full time dentist, hygienist and public health nurse. There is also a Pharmacy, foot care clinic, cancer supply room, senior's room, and home care cupboard. Tignish travelled a long and difficult road to bring better health services to its people. It all began with a women's group back in 1914 and the formimg of a First Aid group in 1949. Since that time a dedicated group of Co¬ operative volun¬ teers pioneered through some rough roads, muddy waters, and forests. We now enjoy the success of a growing and ongoing part of health services for the area. And proudly we can say it was pioneered right here, by a dedicated people working together, for one common cause. First graduating class of First Aiders at Dalton School, Tignish , 1949. The result?
