Happy Whoop Up Days, Y’all!

Heat Wave

The Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health has asked that the following be shared with Alberta seniors.

For seniors, heat can be extremely dangerous. Those seniors who are chronically ill or take certain medications that interfere with their body’s natural cooling mechanisms may be particularly at risk.  Those who are isolated from friends, family or neighbours, have lower incomes, and/or who have lower literacy may also be at increased risk.

We have some tips in our newsletter for seniors to stay healthy, cool and safe during the summer.

Lethbridge Seniors of Distinction Awards

We can all think of a senior who has made a difference in our lives. They are mentors, teachers, grandparents and loved ones. They are volunteers and role models. Every day, seniors in Lethbridge make a big difference in our community.

In honour of National Seniors Day on October 1st, AgeCare’s Columbia Retirement Community along with its very committed partners the Lethbridge Herald, CTV and CKVN Radio have created the Seniors of Distinction Awards.

The senior awards in Lethbridge is an occasion to recognize local seniors and the valuable contributions they have made, and continue to make, in our communities, workplaces, and families.
