Mosquitoes can spread West Nile virus. You can help reduce mosquitoes around your home by removing places where they breed. Mosquitoes need standing water to lay their eggs.

Remember these tips:
☑️ After it rains, remove any standing water around your property.
☑️ Store items like flowerpots, watering cans, and wheelbarrows upside down.
☑️ Replace water in bird baths and outdoor pet dishes twice a week.
☑️ Cover rain barrels with a fine mesh screen.
☑️ Remove any leaves and twigs from eavestroughs and down spouts.
☑️ Cover garbage, recycling, or compost containers to prevent water from gathering.

1️⃣ head and hair
2️⃣in and around the ears
3️⃣under the arms
4️⃣around the chest
5️⃣back (use a mirror or ask for help)
6️⃣waist
7️⃣belly button
8️⃣around the groin
9️⃣legs and behind the knees
🔟between the toes

Checking carefully after being outdoors can help you spot ticks before they become a bigger problem.

June is National Indigenous History Month — a time for celebration of Indigenous culture and recognition of Indigenous histories by genuine listening, learning, and reflection.

Throughout this month, we'll be sharing histories, stories, resources, and truths developed in collaboration with Indigenous staff here and across the Region. Some of what we share will be difficult to sit with, and that matters. Meaningful reconciliation requires us to move beyond comfort and confront the ongoing impacts of colonialism and racism that continue to shape the experiences of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

As settlers and people living on this land, we have a responsibility to understand whose territory we occupy, to learn the histories that were too often overlooked or erased, and to reflect on how we can honour and strengthen our relationships with Indigenous communities.

We invite you to approach this month with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to listen and learn, and to engage with the materials shared throughout. As you do, we encourage you to reflect on what you are learning and how it may shape or deepen your understanding.

This year’s artwork is by Maddie Bernard-Resmer, a mixed-Algonquin, Two-Spirit, Bear Clan artist and oshkàbewis based in Kitchener.
