Emergency Lock Box

Have you ever asked yourself, how could I be rescued if my door was locked? Time is of the essence during a fire or medical emergency. Install a Lock Box – a small weather-resistant metal box that securely holds a set of keys. Should an emergency occur while you are unable to open the door or get out of the residence, Brandon Fire & Emergency Services (BFES) can access your property without having to break-in. Contact Brandon Seniors for Seniors Co-op Inc. at 204-571-2050 for more information.
Note: If you are a veteran/spouse residing in Brandon then you may be eligible for subsidized lock box costs under this program – funding is limited. Please contact our office for more information.

The Masculine in Relationship

We are born from a relationship and yet when it comes to being in a relationship, we struggle for connection. As boys we were taught to suppress our masculine nature. We learned that showing our feelings was unmanly. Nothing could be further from the truth. So, we moved through life with our coping mechanism of people pleasing. This manipulation perpetuated the pain we learned so long ago. But there is a way out. To learn how to embody the masculine in a2 relationship. To integrate the masculine and feminine into a powerful relationship that raises the level you show up as a man. Join us to learn more.

How Is Your Cardiovascular Health?

Did you know that you can have cardiovascular disease without experiencing any symptoms? Many people are not diagnosed until the condition worsens to the point where they have angina, stroke, or heart failure: that’s why it is important to start taking steps towards a healthy heart and arteries today. A good screening test for early signs of disease is Digital Pulsewave Analysis (DPA). This Health Canada-approved, non-invasive method will show you how your cardiovascular system is working. This information can then be used to devise a specific program to improve your cardiovascular health before symptoms occur. Remember, what you don’t know CAN hurt you!
