Poor Air Quality alerts

Smoke and poor air quality can affect everyone, especially children, older adults, pregnant individuals, and those with asthma, COPD, or heart disease.

To protect your health:
• Stay indoors with windows closed when possible.
• Limit strenuous outdoor activities.
• Use air conditioning or a HEPA air purifier if available.
• Stay well hydrated.
• If you need to be outside for extended periods, a well-fitted N95 respirator can help reduce exposure to fine smoke particles.

Seek medical attention promptly if you develop severe shortness of breath, chest pain, confusion, or worsening breathing symptoms.

Take care of yourself and check in on family, friends, and neighbours who may be more vulnerable. 💙

☀️ Sunscreen Is One of the Best Investments You Can Make in Your Health

Did you know that daily sunscreen use helps:
✔️ Reduce your risk of skin cancer
✔️ Prevent premature skin aging
✔️ Minimize sunburn and sun damage
✔️ Lower the risk of developing actinic (solar) keratoses—precancerous skin lesions

Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher and make it part of your morning routine—even on cloudy days. UV rays can pe*****te clouds and windows.

Small daily habits can make a big difference to your long-term skin health.

If you notice a new or changing mole, a sore that doesn’t heal, or a persistent scaly patch, book an appointment with your family physician for an assessment.
