Send Him Some Local Love
With Men’s Mental Health and Father’s Day both in the month of June, this is a perfect opportunity to celebrate the significant men in our lives with nature’s timeless beauty.

Hearing Aids & Summer
As temperatures rise, it’s important to understand how to take care of your hearing aids. Beware of Heat! Avoid putting your hearing aids in places that attract heat quickly – like the glove compartment or console in your car. Stay Away from Moisture! Remember to take your hearing aids out before swimming or if you’re caught in the rain. Keep ‘em Clean! Warm, humid weather creates a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. You can use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from your hearing aids. Follow these simple tips and get outside to enjoy the warm weather.

A Father’s Day Tribute
Father’s Day is a time to remember and honor the man who shaped our lives with love, strength, and wisdom. Whether he’s still with us or lives on in memory, we celebrate his sacrifices, guidance, and quiet presence. We reflect on shared moments—laughter, lessons, and life milestones—that continue to inspire us. Honoring our father means carrying his values forward and speaking his name with pride. It’s a day to pause, to feel grateful, and to cherish the bond that time cannot break. Through remembrance, we keep his spirit alive and remind ourselves of the deep roots from which we grow.
Stroke Awareness & Men’s Health Month
June is the perfect time to focus on prevention and early awareness. Stroke is a leading cause of disability in Canada, and men are at a higher risk—especially over age 55. Know the signs: sudden numbness, confusion, trouble speaking, or loss of balance. Healthy lifestyle choices like eating well, staying active, and managing blood pressure can greatly reduce risk. Men’s Health Month also encourages regular checkups and open conversations about physical and mental health. Taking small steps today can lead to stronger tomorrows.

Which Sunscreen is Best?
Summer is here! Have you been protecting yourself against sun exposure? When selecting a sunscreen, go for the “broad spectrum” protection. Sunscreens with this label protect against both UVA and UVB rays. Make sure your sunscreen has a sun protection factor of 30 or higher. The SPF number is the level of protection the sunscreen provides against harmful rays. Higher SPF numbers do mean more protection, but the higher you go, the smaller the difference becomes. Secondly, look at the ingredients. Physical blockers (titanium dioxide, zinc oxide) provide the best protection and cause less skin irritation than chemical sunscreens.
Did You Know?
Up to 80% of strokes are preventable through healthy lifestyle choices like staying active, eating well, and managing blood pressure.
