As experts in children's health and development, we want to empower children. The Canadian Paediatric Society's new position on "Risky Play" aligns with this vision by encouraging children to engage in play that is as thrilling as it is safe. This approach allows children to explore, face challenges, and grow confident in their abilities within a safe environment.

We believe in fostering resilience and independence, guiding our children to understand their limits safely. Learn more about fostering this balance in play: https://caringforkids.cps.ca/handouts/safety-and-injury-prevention/risky-play

Caring for Kids provides parents with information about their child’s health and well-being. Because the site is developed by the Canadian Paediatric Society, you can be sure the information is reliable.

Snowy Owl Medical Clinic will be closed the rest of the week (March 9th-11th) as someone integral to our clinic passed away suddenly. Our thoughts and love go out to the family.

Happy New Year! Snowy Owl Medical Clinic is making a few changes due to the surge of Covid-19 cases, specifically the omicron variant. We strive to keep our babies, our immuno-suppressed patients, our staff, and you healthy if you need to come into the clinic. Masks are required 100% of the time. We are encouraging virtual/phone appts if possible. Cough/cold/flu symptoms will only be seen if there is an additional concern (ear infection, trouble breathing, etc). Please stay safe and call if you have questions.
