The Foundation is running our Tree of Lights Campaign. For a donation of $15 or more, we will hang an ornament on our Tree of Lights in memory or in honour of a loved one. Donations will go towards 5 Treatment Chairs for OCU or toward the Capital Campaign. To kick off the Tree of Lights we will be holding our Pancake Breakfast in the Murray Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC Showroom on Friday, December 5th. The eat-in or pick up breakfast tickets can be purchased by calling 204-578-4227 or email [email protected]. Jo-Anne Lewis, Executive Director

When you have the flu or are not feeling well, the best thing for you to do is make yourself cozy and to rest comfortably at home while you recover. Drink plenty of fluids, get lots of rest, use a humidifier and make sure you have flu season health essentials on hand, including: Acetaminophen for fever, headache and minor aches and pains. Decongestants to relieve congestion and clear nasal passages. Sprays or lozenges to soothe a sore throat. Speak with your Pharmasave pharmacist about flu shots, prevention, appropriate symptom relief and other ways to stay healthy this flu season.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious men’s health issue that often goes undiagnosed. It affects breathing during sleep, causing repeated interruptions that lead to poor rest and increased health risks. Men are particularly vulnerable due to anatomical and hormonal factors. Untreated OSA is linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and depression. Loud snoring, gasping, and daytime fatigue are common symptoms. Early diagnosis through sleep studies and effective treatment—like CPAP therapy—can dramatically improve quality of life. Raising awareness and encouraging routine screening is essential to protect men’s long-term health and well-being. Sleep matters more than you think.
