The Halifax Regional Municipality is experiencing extremely dry conditions due to a prolonged period without significant rainfall. Surface water and groundwater levels are below normal, leaving many private wells dry. Prolonged drought can strain municipal water supplies, making water conservation essential.

Beginning Aug. 13, the municipality will provide pre-packaged drinking water on Wednesdays and Sundays for individuals in need of potable water due to dry wells at five rural facilities across the municipality:

Fire Station 39, 14 NS-336, Upper Musquodoboit
• Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
• Sundays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Fire Station 48, 1581 Beaverbank Road
• Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
• Sundays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Fire Station 50, 2050 Hammonds Plains Road
• Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
• Sundays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Fire Station 56, 8579 St Margarets Bay Road
• Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
• Sundays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Sheet Harbour Ground Search and Rescue, 44 Behie Road
• Wednesdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
• Sundays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The municipality is following provincial guidelines, provided by the Canadian Red Cross, to distribute four litres of water per person per day. Water is also available for pets, based on their weight.

This process will remain in place until Sept. 10, when Halifax Regional Fire & Emergency will reassess whether ongoing water shortage efforts are needed.

How can osteopathy help your athletic performance?
Athletes are prone to repetitive task injuries, and this can lead to expensive interventions, as well as significant intervals of downtime.

Osteopathy can reduce the risk of injury while improving movement – all of this improves performance and increases longevity in competition.

Osteopathic manual therapy is based on the principles that the body is a whole, not a collection of pieces, and that optimal alignment and structural integrity allow the body to heal itself.
Osteopathic manual practitioners must have an excellent working knowledge of anatomy (structure) and physiology (function) in order to remove any restrictions to their ability to move effectively.

The improvement in movement then optimizes blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and nerve signaling ability. This translates to a reduction in symptoms, such as reduced pain, better sleep patterns, and increased energy and vitality.

What is the difference between Osteopathy and say, physiotherapy or chiropractor treatments? 🤔

*Note: Although we are not physiotherapists or chiropractors, and cannot comment specifically on their therapeutic methods, we will try to discern possible differences.

✔ Philosophy: Osteopaths believe that a problem can result from anywhere in the body. If you have pain, this will change the way you move, and the way you function, thus affecting not only the place where the pain is felt but also elsewhere because of adaptations. Simply put – Osteopaths tend to look a little more globally.

✔ Treatment: Osteopathic Manual Practice treatment is a holistic, total-body treatment. We believe that by working on soft tissues before adjusting a joint, for example, it will be less aggressive with less overtreatment reaction.
