Did you know that nearly half (46%) of Canadians’ daily energy intake comes from ultra‑processed foods, according to Statistique Canada? These products may be convenient, but research continues to show strong links between high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and inflammation — all tied to diets high in UPFs.

This year is a powerful opportunity to shift toward fresh foods or minimally processed options and take real ownership of your health. Small swaps add up. Your body will thank you for every step toward cleaner, more nourishing choices.

💡 Simple ways to start
Choose whole ingredients like fruits, vegetables, grains, and lean proteins

Swap packaged snacks for nuts, yogurt, or fresh produce

Cook more at home to control what goes into your meals

Read labels mindfully and watch for long ingredient lists.

Canada is seeing a sharp rise in cases linked to the new A(H3N2) “superflu,” and many people are asking how to stay safe. This strain spreads fast, hits harder than usual, and affects vulnerable groups more severely. Because symptoms escalate quickly, early awareness matters.

Here’s what to watch for: high fever, deep fatigue, harsh cough, chills, and breathing discomfort. If symptoms appear, stay home and reach out to a healthcare provider.

You can lower your risk with simple steps: get vaccinated early, wear a mask in crowded indoor spaces, wash your hands often, and improve ventilation at home and work. These actions help protect your family and community.

Staying informed is one of the strongest tools we have. Let’s keep each other safe this season.

Environment and Climate Change Canada introduced the colour coded Weather Alert System to make weather warnings easier to understand. The system uses three tiers — yellow, orange, and red — to show different levels of risk and guide communities in preparing for severe conditions. This new approach shifts the focus toward impact based communication. It also connects weather alerts with stronger health, safety, and community resilience.

The colour coded Weather Alert System offers clear benefits for people in Winnipeg, where harsh winters often disrupt daily life.

A yellow alert for mild blowing snow helps residents prepare for reduced visibility and slippery sidewalks. This reduces accidents and keeps vulnerable groups safe.

An orange alert for minor snowstorms warns of travel delays and health risks such as hypothermia or asthma flare ups. Clinics and families can plan ahead to avoid disruption.

A red alert for major snowstorms signals severe danger. Communities must activate emergency protocols, protect the elderly, and secure access to essential care.

This system also helps healthcare providers and businesses take precautionary measures. It strengthens preparedness and ensures that both the healthcare system and the wider community can respond effectively to Winnipeg’s winter challenges.

For decades, diabetes care has focused on managing symptoms with insulin injections, strict diets, and constant monitoring. But now, Gene Therapy is changing the game.

Scientists are developing ways to reprogram cells to naturally produce insulin again. This means tackling the root cause of diabetes instead of just controlling blood sugar.
The promise? Fewer complications, less daily burden, and potentially a long-term cure.
