Happy Canada Day! This long weekend is a great time to explore our country’s beautiful parks and campgrounds. Whether you’re about to head off into nature with your tent or are feeling inspired to plan a trip for later in the summer, being prepared to stay in the great outdoors is key.

Be ready for mosquitoes, black flies, and deer flies by covering up with light-coloured clothing, keeping your tent or cabin closed as much as possible, and by wearing insect repellent.

Stop by the pharmacy today to pick up insect repellent, sunscreen and other essentials for a successful camping trip.

Are you ready to join the joggers in your neighbourhood this season? Whether you’re hoping to tackle a 5K, or just looking for a new way to get fit, running is a great form of exercise!

Before you hit the streets, it’s a good idea to check with your doctor (especially if you have any medical conditions). When you are ready to get started, stop by the pharmacy to pick up everything you’ll need to prevent injuries and manage soreness.

Our pharmacist is here to answer questions you might have about anything from new insoles for your running shoes to over-the-counter muscle and joint creams.

Protecting your skin is important all year long, but summer in particular is when you need to stock up on sunscreen!

Did you know that SPF stands for sun protection factor? SPF relates to the amount of time it takes for your skin to burn without any protection. The Canadian Dermatology Association recommends using a product with an SPF of 30 or more daily to protect your skin.

Be prepared for your fun in the sun! Stop by the pharmacy to pick up sunscreen you the whole family today.

During the hot, hazy days of summer, it’s important to pay attention to your body’s hydration needs. If you’re spending a lot of time outside, or you and your children are playing sports, and sweating heavily, you could be at risk of dehydration.
The signs of dehydration can include:
• Thirst
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Flushed skin
If you or someone you are with is showing signs of dehydration, get some liquids in right away. An electrolyte-infused water will help to replenish your body with depleted nutrients. Certain medications can increase your risk of dehydration. Ask our pharmacist for more information.

A red, itchy, sore ear could signal a common complaint during the summer months: swimmer’s ear.

Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the tube that runs from your eardrum to the outer part of your ear. It’s often brought on by water that remains in your ear, creating a moist environment where bacteria can grow.

This infection can usually be treated with prescription ear drops. Ask our pharmacist if you should see your doctor.
