Bodystream opens

Medical marijuana clinic’s East City location is one of 20 in Ontario

Bodystream Medical Marijuana Services has been in Peterborough since October 2016, but they are celebrating their new East City location this Friday. Bodystream operates 20 clinics in Ontario.

The staff will guide you through the process of obtaining a prescription from one of their licensed physicians, filling out the appropriate documents, and sending them to a Health Canada approved Licensed Producer (LP).

They also provide patients with a thorough education process on how to take their medication, and how to choose the right strain for their specific condition. The official opening is this Friday at 53 Hunter St. in East City. www.bodystreammedical.ca.

Brad and Sarah will be offering chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, soft tissue therapy, therapeutic laser, custom orthotics, and mobility services.

Congratulations to Grant Murray and Lucie Laplante on the opening of their new Mark’s location. Located at 1230 Lansdowne Street West between Jo Anne’s Place Health Foods and Canadian Tire, the 30,000 square foot building is dramatically bigger than the former Mark’s location, allowing them to offer a lot of new and improved services.

You’ll find two entrances, specialty sections, a central fitting area, expanded footwear and jeans sections and more at www.marks.com
