**🎒🏈 Back to School & Back to Sports: Let’s Talk Concussion Awareness 🧠**
September is **Concussion Awareness Month**—a reminder for parents, students, and coaches to stay alert as kids return to classrooms and more organized sports!
👉 **Know the signs**: Headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea, blurred vision, or trouble concentrating.
👉 **When in doubt, sit them out**: If a concussion is suspected, remove the student from play and seek medical attention.
👉 **Rest & recovery matter**: Returning to school and sports too soon can delay healing. Follow a gradual return-to-learn and return-to-play plan.
👉 **Prevention counts**: Encourage helmets and mouth guards where appropriate, safe play, and open communication if something feels “off.”
Concussions aren’t always visible—but with awareness and care, we can protect young brains for a safe and healthy school year.

📚🍎 Back-to-School Wellness Tips! ✏️🎒
As the new school year begins, keeping kids healthy and energized helps set them up for success. Here are a few wellness reminders:
😴 Prioritize Sleep – Aim for consistent bedtimes and 8–10 hours of rest (depending on age). A good night’s sleep improves focus, mood, and learning.
💉 Stay Up to Date on Immunizations – Check with your child’s healthcare provider to make sure vaccinations are current. This helps protect your child and others in the classroom.
🥗 Fuel with Regular Meals – A balanced breakfast and healthy snacks give kids steady energy and support brain power all day long.
✨ Wishing all students, teachers, and families a healthy, happy school year ahead!

🌞 Summer is Officially Here and We are Sharing Summer Safety Tips for the Whole Family! 🌊💧
Summer is the season for sunshine, swimming, and outdoor adventures—but it’s important to stay safe while enjoying the fun! Here are a few simple ways to protect yourself and your loved ones:
🔆 Sunscreen & Sun Protection
Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. Reapply every 2 hours, and after swimming or sweating.
Dress for the sun: hats, sunglasses, and light, long-sleeved clothing help block harmful rays.
Try to stay in the shade between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., when the sun is strongest.
🏖️ Swimming Safety
Always supervise children around water—whether it’s a pool, lake, or splash pad.
Enroll kids in swimming lessons and teach them basic water safety skills.
Adults should avoid alcohol when supervising or swimming.
Practice pool rules: no running, no diving in shallow water, and no rough play.
💧 Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
Limit sugary drinks and caffeine, which can lead to dehydration.
Keep snacks refreshing—try fruits and veggies like watermelon, cucumber, and berries.
A safe summer is a fun summer! Share these tips with family and friends so everyone can enjoy the season safely. ☀️💙

Wondering if you need to supplement your diet to support bone health? Osteoporosis Canada has informative resources to share!
Most people don't know that too much supplemental calcium can be problematic and new vitamin D recommendations (600-800 IU/d) for bone health are lower than previous.
Assess your nutrient intake with this handy nutrient calculator - if you're meeting your needs through your diet then supplements aren't needed!
Speaking to a Registered Dietitian can also help you assess what's needed or not.
