May 31st is 🚭

This years theme is 'Unmasking the Appeal'.

Smoking might look cool on screen — but in real life, to***co and ni****ne products are designed to hook you. Today’s industry is rebranding addiction through vapes and ni****ne pouches, and using trendy marketing and social media to appeal to a new generation.

You have the power to see through it.

Healthy eating isn’t just about what you eat — it’s how you eat, too🍉

Sharing meals, like a picnic in the park, turns something simple into a moment of connection and joy. Slowing down and enjoying your food can help you notice flavours, feel more satisfied, and build a positive relationship with eating.

As the weather warms up, don’t forget to protect your skin!☀

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in Canada, yet one of the most preventable. Reduce your risk by wearing sunscreen, seeking shade, and rocking sunglasses and a hat!

What are Island youth drinking?

The good news—recent findings show most are choosing water daily. 💧

But sugary drinks and energy drinks are still part of the routine for many. Supporting small shifts can make a big difference in energy, focus, sleep, and overall health.

Happy National Nursing Week!🌟

Nurses play a vital role in our Smoking Cessation Program, often among the first to talk with patients about quitting and offering the support needed to take the first step! 🚭

This week, we celebrate and thank the nurses who work every day to keep our Island communities healthy!
