orientation
Hi :)
I had my orientation at St. Josephs in June. You receive a powerpoint that explains the procedure in depth. Also, when I went, the team was there and they all spoke to us as a group and answered questions (the psychologist, dietician, nurse, etc). After that, they ask you to call on the Wednesday (the 23rd for you) to let them know if you still wish to continue with the process.
I hope this helps! :)

Here's the link to the St. Joe's (Hamilton) handbook. I don't remember if they had this out at the orientation or later on. I know they were going to be updating it, but whether or not they have yet, I don't know.
