Ticks and Lyme Disease

If you spend time in wooded, shrubby, or grassy areas, it’s important to check yourself for ticks. Deer ticks (aka black-legged ticks) carry bacteria that can cause Lyme disease. A “bull’s-eye” skin rash and flu-like symptoms are common signs of the condition. Lyme disease is typically treated with doctor-prescribed antibiotics. To avoid tick bites, avoid brushing against vegetation, wear light-coloured long-sleeved shirts and pants, and use insect repellent containing DEET. If you find an embedded tick, gently remove it using tweezers by pulling close to the skin and avoid squeezing the tick. Clean the bite wound thoroughly.

Help Support Seniors in Our Community today!

All support is extremely valuable, be it donations, volunteer time or simply word-of-mouth. It is the people of Saskatoon that enable us to continue helping the city’s venerable population. Your generous donations help us progress our services while playing a vital role in keeping seniors independent. Every dollar of support stays right here in Saskatoon. We have many lower-income seniors that need our services, and the generosity of your support allows us to be able to assist them. Donations of $20 or over will get a tax receipt. We graciously accept cheques, cash, or e-transfer.

Grocery Delivery Program

Regardless of age, we all need to eat. But those groceries can be heavy, and the store can be busy and loud. Or you might not have time for it amidst all your other appointments and obligations. So let us shop on your behalf by joining our grocery program. Our members can phone or e-mail us on Monday and provide us with a detailed shopping list and a store to go to. We will buy what you need and deliver it to you. We can even buy non-food items like yarn or cutlery. And you’re not obligated to order every week. Some people even only order once to get that item from a store that’s too far from home. But slots are limited (another reason why our volunteers are so important) so contact us for more information.

We’re Hiring!

We have several positions available in our Organization including Housekeeping, Yard Work and Grocery Delivery. If you enjoy working with Seniors and making a difference in their lives please contact us today.

Puppy Breath

What is puppy breath and why are we emotionally connected to this distinct smell? When a puppy is teething, their teeth and gums are developing, and the combination of diet and oral bacteria causes the scent of sweet and musky breath. For many of us, this smell triggers an emotional response, as we associate puppies with innocence, playfulness and the joy of an adorable puppy. This connection can bring back memories, trigger feelings of happiness and reduce overall stress. Why not adopt a puppy? Go to www.mjhs.ca to visit all the amazing faces waiting for a family.

These simple changes can help you create healthy meals that are bursting with nutrients, while still enjoying those great summertime flavours.
