Is British Columbia Ready for Us?
Join us for an important conversation at the North Shore Seniors Health Expo!

The 2021 census paints a clear picture: nearly 1 in 4 British Columbians is over 65, and the fastest-growing age group is those 80 and older. What does this mean for our health care system, communities, and families?

We’re pleased to welcome Terry Lake, former BC Health Minister and outgoing CEO of the BC Care Providers Association, as he explores what this demographic shift means—and how all levels of government and civil society can respond.

📍 Location: Activity Room, Seniors’ Activity Centre
🗓 Date: Friday, June 6
🕙 Time: 10:00 – 11:00 a.m.

🌿 Reminder to Our Caregivers: Practicing Self-Care 🌿

In the hustle and bustle of caring for others, it's easy to forget to care for ourselves. Today, we want to remind each of you—our dedicated caregivers—to take a moment for self-care. Whether it's a walk in nature, a quiet cup of tea, or simply a few deep breaths, your well-being matters too. By nurturing yourselves, you recharge your ability to provide the best care possible.

Let's commit to taking small, intentional steps towards self-care every day. Your compassion and dedication inspire us all.

With the temperatures rising, it's very important to take extra care of ourselves and our clients.
Here are some tips to keep cool and healthy:

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! 💧
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you’re not feeling thirsty. Avoid sugary, caffeinated, or alcoholic beverages as they can dehydrate you.

Stay Indoors During Peak Heat 🏠
Try to stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day (usually between 10 AM and 4 PM). If you need to be outside, take frequent breaks in the shade or a cool place.

Dress for the Weather 👗🧢
Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing. Don’t forget your sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Keep Cool ❄️
Use fans, air conditioning, or take cool showers to lower your body temperature. If you don't have AC, consider visiting public places like malls or libraries to stay cool.

Eat Light 🥗
Eat smaller, light meals throughout the day. Fresh fruits and vegetables can help keep you hydrated.

Check on Others 👵👴
Keep an eye on family, friends, and neighbors, especially the elderly, young children, and pets who may need extra help staying cool.

Know the Signs of Heat-Related Illnesses 🚨
Be aware of symptoms like heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, and headaches. If you or someone else is experiencing these, move to a cooler place, hydrate, and seek medical attention if needed.

Let's all do our part to stay cool and safe during the Summer.
Take care, everyone! 🌡️💙
