Happy Inuit Day !!!

November 7 is Inuit Day! Today, let's celebrate the resilience and rich culture of the Inuit, who are Indigenous Peoples with homelands in the Arctic. At Every One Every Day, we're very lucky to have Inuit hosts share some of their culture with us: country food, drum dancing, Arctic games, throat singing, language, printmaking, and so much more! In the photo above, you'll see Lisa, Dora, and Frances from Atelihai Inuit teaching residents how to drum dance. Atelihai Inuit is an amazing program of the Mi'kmaw Native Friendship Centre that supports the Inuit community of the Maritime provinces. How will you recognize Inuit Day today?

September 10 is ***dePreventionDay

Our Mi’kmaw communities know the deep impact su***de has on families, friends and communities.

According to the World Health Organization, around 727,000 people die by su***de every year, and many more will attempt to take their own lives. Su***de can affect anyone – any age, gender or background.

Struggling with your mental health or having thoughts of su***de can feel heavy and overwhelming. Those feelings are real, but you do not have to carry them alone. Support is out there and there are people who care about you.

Lets break down the Evenflo Revolve 360 Slim recall.
🇨🇦 CANADA ONLY 🇨🇦

A testing dummy between the weight of 11-40lbs did not pass testing using the seatbelt + tether installation method.

Solutions? See below:

Rear-facing child weighs between 11-35lbs
- install Canadian Revolve360 Slim with lower anchors + tether until
the recall fix kit arrives in the mail.

If rear-facing child weighs between 40-50lbs
- There is no recall issue. For children in this weight range, install the Revolve360 slim with seatbelt + tether (this is the only installation option
due to UAS/LATCH weight limits).

• If rear-facing child weighs between 35-40lbs
The lower anchors max at at 35lb weight limit. However for the next 5lbs, it did not pass testing with the seatbelt.
You may choose to forward face your child for these 5lbs if your child is over 2 and meets the height requirements, until your remedy kit arrives.
If your child does not meet the forward facing requirements, you may choose to use another seat in the interim.
