Looking for a new lunch or dinner spot? Our team recently discovered Reno's, located in the lobby at 45 Pirie Street, and we’re already planning our next visit!

What we loved:

The salad and protein bowls were a standout—three fresh, vibrant salads paired with a generous serving of protein.

The soup of the day stole the show, especially when paired with their cheese soldiers—beautifully toasted focaccia with a rich, flavourful cheese spread. Honestly, we are going back just for those cheese soldiers!

Friendly staff, quick service, and high-quality food make Reno's a must-visit.

If you’re in the area, we highly recommend stopping by for a delicious meal. You might just find us there too!

Here’s the truth: It’s okay not to have the perfect words. A simple “I’m here for you” or “I’m so sorry for your loss” can mean the world.

💡 Tip: Avoid phrases like “They’re in a better place” or “Everything happens for a reason.” Instead, focus on listening and validating their feelings.

"Why am I seeing a psychologist for my pain?"

If you've been referred to a psychologist for ongoing pain, you might feel confused or even frustrated. But here's the truth: Pain is not just about sensory input. It's a complex process influenced by biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors.

Your doctor isn’t saying, “It’s all in your mind.” Instead, they’re recognizing that pain is multifaceted, and a psychologist can help you understand and manage it better.

💡 Psychologists work with you to break down the complexities of pain, helping you make sense of it and develop strategies to improve your quality of life.
👉 Remember, pain is real, and so is the support available to you.
