Noticing darker mornings and lighter evenings? Alberta has adopted permanent Alberta Time (previously called Mountain Daylight Time or MDT) to eliminate the previous practice of semi-annual clock changes. Its official abbreviation is “ABT.” As of Sunday, November 1, clocks no longer fall back one hour as we move into the winter months. ⏰

Here are a few things to keep in mind:
✔️ Make sure upcoming health appointments are scheduled for the correct time
✔️ Review your phone, computer and calendar settings
✔️ As daylight hours shift, try to maintain a consistent sleep schedule

More info about Alberta Time here: www.alberta.ca/albertas-new-time-system-abt

On October 15, staff from all seven Calgary-area PCNs and the business unit gathered for a day of learning, reflection and connection at the Calgary Zone Truth and Reconciliation event.

Highlights included a keynote from Dr. Lindsay Crowshoe, an Indigenous prayer led by Elder Rod Scout, the Walking in Wellness resource gathering featuring Indigenous-focused organizations and a sharing circle with Elders from the PCN Zone Committee.

The day concluded with drummers, dancers and a round dance, bringing participants together in a spirit of connection, community and shared learning.

Thank you to everyone who took part in this meaningful event.

Shorter days can bring changes to more than our routines.

If you find your mood and energy consistently change as the seasons do, it may be worth paying attention. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that follows a seasonal pattern and can affect how you feel, sleep and go about your daily life.

If you're struggling, reach out. Your primary care provider can help you understand what you're experiencing and connect you with the right support.

💙 This Canadian Patient Safety Week, we’re joining Healthcare Excellence Canada in the conversation about what shapes safer care and how we can all play a part.

Safer care starts with everyday things: asking questions, sharing concerns and having open conversations. PCNs help connect healthcare providers and community services so patients can get the care and support they need.

If you have questions about your health, don’t hesitate to reach out to your primary care provider. Speaking up and staying informed can help you feel more confident about the care you receive.
