November is Osteoporosis Awareness Month. A great way to keep your bones healthy and strong is to exercise. This fall we ran an Urban Pole Walking group and met weekly for walks along the recreational canal. Stay tuned for our next offering of this program when nice weather returns in the Spring!

As we head into winter and COVID-19 cases are on the rise, it is important to adopt daily habits to boost mental health.

Flu shot update: Niagara Region Public Health has advised us that Ontario has distributed 100% of their High Dose flu vaccines. This means that it is no longer available anywhere, nor can it be re-ordered. Please do not hold off getting the regular flu shot in hopes that the High Dose will become available: it's all gone. If you haven't received the flu shot yet this year, you can attend our Flu Shot Clinic tomorrow, Nov 14, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.

Please note that we unfortunately do not have any high dose flu shots at this time, nor will we have any for the Flu Shot Clinic on Saturday. We still recommend receiving the regular flu shot as it provides broad coverage against four strains of influenza.

On Remembrance Day, we pause to honour the brave men and women who served, and those who continue to serve our country. 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. It is also the first year that in-person attendance at Remembrance Day services is being discouraged. You can watch the national service on Facebook Live today at 10:45 am.
