8] WALKING AND BIKING TO SCHOOL:
Walking or biking to school is one of the easiest ways to build physical activity into your kids’ daily routine. We would like to remind parents and guardians to review their route and road safety rules with their children, including awareness and safe practice around hazards (water bodies, train tracks, intersections, etc.), and the importance of not accepting rides from strangers.
Why walk to school?
• Kids develop healthy, active habits.
• Parents can get on with their day sooner and everyone feels less rushed in the morning.
• Teachers and principals can worry less about traffic congestion around the school.
• Kids can enjoy their new-found independence and the chance to spend time with friends.
• Kids who walk to school arrive more alert & ready to learn.
Everyone enjoys safer streets when more people walk. Go to for more tips, tools and resources on being active and walking to school.
9]IT’S inFLUenzaSEASON – GET VACCINATED!:
Influenza is a contagious viral disease of the respiratory system. Influenza is spread by coughing, sneezing or direct contact with the viruses in nasal and throat secretions. Symptoms include sudden onset of fever and chills, a cough, muscle aches, a headache, fatigue, and a runny or stuffy nose.
In most cases, influenza is a self-limiting illness that may result in being home sick for a few days. Influenza can result in hospitalization and death, especially in very young children, the elderly, and those with serious underlying health conditions.
Immunization prevents influenza illness in about 70% of healthy children and adults.
In the Cypress Health Region, influenza immunization clinics will be taking place in October and November. Please visit a complete listing of all flu clinics being held throughout the region.
