Cherishing Generations

Grandparents’ Day was introduced in Canada in 1995 to recognize the love, support, and wisdom grandparents bring to families and society. Championed by MP Sarkis Assadourian, it is celebrated on the second Sunday of September. The day encourages intergenerational connection, respect, and appreciation for the vital role grandparents play. Inspired by the U.S. version started in 1978, Grandparents’ Day highlights the importance of honoring seniors and strengthening family bonds across generations.

Know The Signs Early

August is Autoinflammatory Awareness Month, a reminder that living well starts with listening to your body. Persistent or recurring symptoms such as unexplained fevers, joint pain, fatigue, rashes, or ongoing inflammation should never be ignored. While these symptoms can have many causes, they may also be signs of a rare autoinflammatory disease. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can improve long term health and quality of life. If you are experiencing ongoing symptoms or have concerns, speak with your local healthcare practitioner. The Canadian Autoinflammatory Network provides trusted education, resources, and support for individuals, families, and healthcare professionals. Learn more at

Listen to What Your Body Is Telling You

Many people dismiss symptoms such as fatigue, digestive discomfort, headaches, or poor sleep as a normal part of a busy life. However, these can be important signals that the body needs attention and support. Naturopathic medicine focuses on uncovering the root causes of health concerns rather than simply managing symptoms. Through personalized nutrition, lifestyle guidance, and evidence-informed natural therapies, it is possible to support the body’s ability to heal and function optimally. As summer winds down, take time to check in with your health. Addressing concerns early can help prevent larger issues down the road.

Protecting Your Hearing Aids

Summer heat, humidity, sweat, and outdoor activities can take a toll on hearing aids, but a few simple habits can keep them working their best. Wipe your devices with a soft, dry cloth after spending time outside to remove moisture, sweat, and debris. Always apply sunscreen, insect repellent, or hairspray before handling your hearing aids, and wash your hands first. Keep them away from direct sunlight and never leave them in a hot vehicle. Before charging, allow damp devices to air dry for several minutes, clean the charging contacts regularly, and charge them in a cool, dry room to help extend their lifespan.
