Less daylight means it’s time to think about visibility and safety. With darker mornings and earlier sunsets, take a few extra precautions when you’re walking, driving or heading out for the day.

🚶 For pedestrians: Wear bright or reflective clothing, stay visible and use marked crosswalks. Make eye contact with drivers before crossing.

🚗 For drivers: Slow down in low-light conditions, watch carefully for pedestrians and cyclists, and be especially alert in school zones and at crosswalks.

❤️ For families: Talk to kids about staying visible, using designated crossings and paying attention around roads and school drop-off areas.

A few simple changes can help everyone get where they’re going safely this fall! For more safety information or to learn about the health services, programs and resources we offer, visit www.camrosepcn.com

Don’t wait for a change to get screened. You don’t need to have a lump or notice something unusual to need a mammogram. Regular screening can help find breast cancer before symptoms appear when treatment may be more effective.

In Alberta, it’s recommended women ages 45–74 have a screening mammogram every two years. Appointments are available at radiology clinics across the province.

This weekend is a time to gather, reflect, and give thanks to others, but remember to make space to support your own mental health too.

Taking care of your mental health might look like:

🤍Setting boundaries to help you from feeling overwhelmed
🤍Recognizing when you need to take a break and having a plan to help you recharge

Your mental health matters to us, too. For help with strategies, tools, and resources to support your mental health, talk to your primary care provider.

Remember, you do not have to wait until your mental health concerns feel overwhelming to ask for help. Ask for help any time to get the support you need to feel your best.
