“We like to promote wellness and well-being in the community. Tobacco reduction is a good way to promote wellness and well-being,” stated Issac Mensah, an Employment Specialist at NDMS.

“Wing Night likes to use entertainment to promote healthy living. They decided to support us.”

The Toronto band is a hip-hop and R&B cover band that specializes in the classics of the 90’s.
