tips to keep your cool when the weather heats up

Many of us spend winter dreaming of sunny summer days ahead. However, the weather can become too hot to enjoy.

To make sure you can keep your cool when the weather heats up, here are some tips.

check your air conditioner

If you have an air conditioner, make sure it’s working properly before you need it. Turn it on for a test and schedule service if needed. This way, if there is a problem you can solve it before the first heat wave. If you don’t have an air-conditioner, identify places close to home where you can cool off on hot days, such as a library or community centre.

have hot-weather recipes ready

Using your oven during a heat wave will add to the hot temperatures you’re feeling. Rather than try-

ing to come up with recipes when it’s already too hot to think, plan some oven-free meals before the hot weather arrives. There are plenty of delicious options, including no-cook and cold dishes, as well as microwave-safe meals.

revisit your closet

Many of us store our summer clothes out of the way for the winter. Dig them out in the springtime before the first heat wave so that you know they fit and where to find them when hot temperatures strike. Loose-fitting and light-coloured clothes made

from breathable fabrics can help keep you cooler.

brush up on safety steps

If you take medication or have a health condition, ask your healthcare provider about how heat can affect you and follow their advice. If you do outdoor work or activities, ensure that you have a plan to accommodate extreme heat.

arrange check-ins to reduce risk

Watch out for the early signs of heat illness, which include head -

aches, nausea or vomiting, dizziness or fainting, extreme thirst, and rapid breathing or heartbeat. These can rapidly evolve into lifethreatening emergencies and affect your ability to reach out for help.

While everyone is at risk for heat illnesses, older adults, infants and young children, people experiencing homelessness and anyone with a chronic illness is at greater risk. Living alone or being socially isolated can also put people at great risk. Talk to your family, friends and neighbours to arrange regular check-ins

with them during hot weather in case anyone needs support.

tax-time guide tips for stress-free filing

The tax deadline is inevitable every year, whether it fills you with a deep dread or you actually enjoy putting everything together. Here are some important things you should know this year to help you get your taxes done as easily and effectively as possible.

file your taxes to be eligible for the new Canadian Dental Care Plan

The federal government is phasing in the Canadian Dental Care Plan to help cover the cost of oral health care for Canadians who have an annual family income of less than $90,000 and no access to dental insurance. In order to be eligible, one of the requirements is that you have filed last year’s tax return – so that’s another reason to get filing.

find free tax help across the country

If you have a modest income and simple tax situation, you may be able to have your taxes done by vol-

unteers at a free tax clinic. They can help make sure you get the benefits and credits you’re entitled to. Volunteering for the Community Volunteer Income Tax program (CVITP), run as the Income Tax Assistance – Volunteer Program (ITAVP) in Quebec, can also be a great opportunity to give back.

prepare in advance

Early preparation can also help make tax time more efficient – and maybe save you money. Before you sit down to file, make sure you have your details and documents ready, from T4s to donation receipts. If you don’t qualify for CVITP/ITAVP assistance, consulting a financial advisor from a reputable company like IG Wealth Management can make preparing easier and ensure you maximize tax credits and deductions, and stay on top of deadlines.

doing your taxes may net you some cash

Even if you didn’t have any income last year, file your tax return.

Doing it may even put some money in your pocket. Aside from the possibility of a refund, doing your taxes is the only way to receive many of the federal benefit or credit payments you could be eligible for. Register for direct deposit from the Canada Revenue Agency to get your money in as little as eight business days of filing.

own residential property in Canada?

You should know about the Underused Housing Tax (UHT)

This tax is different from the vacant housing taxes of some municipalities and provinces. While the UHT doesn’t apply to many Canadian homeowners, it’s still up to each owner to confirm if they’re affected or not. If you’re required to file a return for the 2022 or 2023 calendar year, make sure the Canada Revenue Agency receives your return(s) and payment(s) by April 30th, 2024, to avoid penalties and interest. ■

Getting older is inevitable, but with age comes enough wisdom to know that your senior years can be the best of your life. Staying mentally sharp, physically fit and emotionally healthy are all important – and self-care is at the centre of it all.

Here are seven simple ways to prioritize health and well-being in your golden years:

go for a walk

It doesn’t matter how fast or how far you go at first; aim for half an hour at least five days a week.

keep your body hydrated

Dry mouth is a common condition in seniors, and one that may be caused by medications or certain medical disorders. Drink plenty of water, sip broths and soups, consider a humidifier for your home and remember that both caffeine and alcohol can be dehydrating.

pay close attention to your nutrition

Eat whole foods, make sure you’re getting enough protein, reduce the amount of sugar you consume and try to avoid saturated fats. Enjoy a treat every now and then.

stay on top of your health-care appointments

See your doctors, dentists and other specialists regularly to help all of you stay on top of your baseline health.

brush your teeth

Did you know your gums naturally recede over time, exposing areas of the tooth that are not protected by enamel? Consider protecting your gums with a daily toothpaste that fights the bacteria that can cause early gum disease, such as Colgate PerioGardSF, which also helps prevent gum bleeding and inflammation, plaque build-up and even cavities.

be social

Whether it’s visiting friends, playing with grandchildren or travelling, connecting with others may help reduce stress and keep your mental health in check.

try something new

Learning new sports or picking up a new hobby could help you slow down cognitive decline.
