“WorkSafe Saskatchewan reminds every worker of their three fundamental rights in the workplace: The right to know what hazards are present, the right to participate in keeping the workplace healthy and safe and the right to refuse dangerous work. These rights are protected under The Saskatchewan Employment Act. When workers speak up and employers listen, everyone benefits. Safety is a shared responsibility—and it starts with knowing your rights. Together, we can make Saskatchewan workplaces safer.”

From Rescue to Forever Homes
Supporting the SPCA offers meaningful benefits for the animals, the volunteers and the community. Whether through adoption, donations, volunteering, supporting fundraisers, or fostering, your involvement helps rescue animals from neglect, abuse, or abandonment—giving them a second chance at life. Food Donations are especially important and appreciated to keep our fur friends fed, as they await permanent placement. Food Donations ease the SPCA’s shelter budget and stress ensuring the pets are fed, the cost of pet food alone ads up greatly, and if often taken for granted by the general public. Please reach out to see how you can make a difference and save a life!
Giving your Product/Service a Voice
Not every product or service is easy to Promote. Some require more than a catchy slogan or visual Ad— That’s where the power of an editorial in the WellnessNEWS comes in. Unlike a traditional visual Advertisement, an Editorial allows you to PROVIDE INFORMATION, EXPLAIN the HEALTH BENEFITS, or PROVIDE TIPS and INFORMATION to Readers to help prevent a potential health/wellness issue. Readers engage with the editorials differently than they do with Visual Ads. They’re not just being told to buy a product or service—they are being educated and informed. Given time to understand the benefits to their health and wellbeing

For individuals with limited mobility, the adjustable height and positioning can also improve safety and independence—blending luxury with practical wellness support.
Home Repairs after Summer Storms
Summer storms that bring excessive rain, wind, hail and fallen trees can cause serious damage to homes, especially roofs, siding, windows, and even foundations. Homeowners should inspect their property promptly and document all damage with photos before beginning repairs or clean up. Reliable and insured roofing and construction contractors are essential for restoring homes safely and preventing further issues such as leaks and mold. Strong communication between homeowners, contractors, and home insurance companies can speed up repairs and help families return to normal after severe summer weather.
Hear More Than Just Sound
International Self-Care Day is a reminder that looking after your health includes caring for your hearing. Many people assume hearing tests only measure how well they hear, but a comprehensive hearing assessment can reveal much more. It evaluates the health of the entire auditory system and may detect earwax blockages, eardrum problems, middle ear conditions, and signs that warrant further medical investigation. Adults over 50 are encouraged to have a hearing screening every three years, even without noticeable symptoms. Establishing a hearing baseline is a simple self-care step that supports long-term health and wellbeing.

A Simpler Approach to Summer with Kids
Summer can bring sunshine and opportunity—but it can also bring pressure. Families are navigating very different realities: some parents are working full-time while juggling childcare and screen limits, while others are home with their kids all day, balancing constant demands and expectations. Children range from toddlers in daycare to preteens and teens with long, unstructured days. There is no one “right way” to do summer—and recognizing that can ease some of the pressure.
Many parents today are stretched thin. In past generations, families often spent less time together overall and felt less pressure to constantly entertain their children. Today, with more dual-income households and higher expectations around engagement, it’s easy to feel like you are never doing enough. This can contribute to parent burnout and increased stress for both parents and kids.
A helpful reframe is to focus on quality over quantity. Meaningful connection doesn’t require elaborate outings or full-day plans. A short walk after supper, sharing a snack without distractions, or spending 10 minutes doing something your child chooses can make a real difference.
Getting kids outside is one of the simplest ways to support mental health, reduce screen time, and help everyone reset. This doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. Parks, splash pads, backyard play, bike rides, or even a walk around the block can provide fresh air and movement. For families where camps and paid activities aren’t accessible, simple routines and low-cost options still offer variety and engagement.
To help reduce the mental load, here are a few practical ways to approach summer:
Summer Survival Toolkit (Simple, Low-Cost Ideas)
• Visit parks, green spaces, and local splash pads
• Create backyard fun with chalk, water, or simple obstacle courses
• Rotate playdates or connect with other families to share supervision
• Use the library for books, programs, or quiet time breaks
• Set up easy activity stations (puzzles, crafts, building supplies)
• Try audiobooks or a “boredom jar” for independent time
Make It Work for You
• Aim for one anchor activity per day, not a packed schedule
• Create a loose weekly rhythm (e.g., Park Monday, Water Wednesday)
• Let kids be bored sometimes—it builds creativity
• Focus on connection, not constant entertainment
For working parents, screens may be part of the solution—and that’s okay. For stay-at-home parents, it’s okay if not every day feels magical. This season isn’t about doing more; it’s about finding what’s manageable for your family.
A steady, supported parent is one of the most important things a child needs—and that starts with giving yourself permission to keep things simple.
