Highway to Heaven
Richmond’s #5 Road is also popularly known as the Highway to Heaven (H2H). This stretch of a few kilometers of # 5 Road in Richmond between Steveston Highway and Bridgeport Road is home to about 25 places of worship of different denominations. Most of the world’s major religions are represented on this stretch of few kilometers on the east side of #5 Road. These include Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, Sikhism, Hinduism and many more. A few years ago, possibly around 2004/5 ,as president of the Richmond Multicultural Community Services (RMCS) I requested one of our staff members to prepare a list of all the places of worship springing up on the east side of # 5 Road. Based on that information, I wrote an article in the local newspaper (Richmond Review ) and coined the phrase Highway to Heaven for this portion of Number Five Road .I wrote that this is Richmond’s Highway to Heaven. Since then, it has caught on. Now our Highway to Heaven is well known all over. As a matter of fact, it has become as one of Richmond’s favourite attractions.
Many students and other visitors from all over come to visit our Highway to Heaven and learn about different religions. Not only that, they also appreciate the way different places of worship work and support each other. A few years ago, a Canada wide survey of Canada’s favourite places placed Richmond’s Highway to Heaven as one of 50 most popular places to visit. Following that, BBC did a story about our Highway to Heaven. It went viral. In November 2017, 13 United Nations Ambassadors were coming to Vancouver to attend a Conference on Peace and Defence. I was approached by Global Affairs Canada with a request to host them as they were keen to visit our Highway to Heaven. It was a pleasure for us to host them at India Cultural Centre of Canada Gurdwara Nanak Niwa, 8600 #5 Road in Richmond. They were very impressed with a delicious vegetarian lunch and discussion about our efforts in promoting intercultural and inter religious harmony. On this occasion, the Canadian Ambassador was beaming with pride and remarked to his fellow Ambassadors:” This is my Canada”.
Incidentally, around 2018, National Film Board of Canada did a short documentary on our H2H. That was another feather in our cap. This documentary is reported to be played occasionally on Air Canada’s international flights.
As mentioned earlier, close to 25 places of worship are proud to work to-gether in promoting our shared vision and common goals. As chairperson of the Highway to Heaven Association (H2HA), it is a great honour for me to bring to-gether our partners and work together in promoting intercultural and interreligious harmony. As a group, it is an honour for all of us to support each other and stand with each other in times of need. We rejoice and celebrate any developments along the H2H. For example, one of our H2HA members, Lingyen Mountain Temple is adding new premises to its existing facilities. They had a big celebration for the Ridge Beam Completion

Ceremony on Sunday, September 22. This is in connection with their new building for the Buddha Hall Phase 3 . It was a very impressive ceremony. The event was overflowing with VIPs, special guests and the public. It was a historical occasion to mark this milestone in the history of Lingyen Mountain Temple.
The organisers of the Ridge Beam Completion Ceremony did an excellent job in ensuring that everything went smoothly. From parking to seating to lunch everything went like a clock work. The volunteers were very pleasant and helpful. The message from the organizers about this new facility was very succinct: “The temple will soon be able to provide even more services, guide sentinent beings onto the compassionate vessel, and lead the community in their Buddhist practice.” On behalf of the Highway to Heaven Association, I offer my hearty congratulations to the organizers, volunteers, temple leaders and the congregation of this marvellous place of worship.

More doctors, shorter waits: Eby outlines new actions for better care
David Eby announced new commitments that will connect more people to family doctors, faster, with the goal of making sure everyone has access to a family doctor or nurse practitioner.
“People need more doctors and shorter waits so routine conditions don’t go untreated, and so they don’t have to wait at the hospital,” said Eby. “We’ve taken action to connect thousands of people to family doctors faster than ever. It’s making a difference, and these new actions will connect more people faster. We can have a province where everyone has access to care.”
In less than two years as premier, David Eby has added over 800 new family doctors and connected almost 250,000 people to a family doctor or nurse practitioner. Another 160,000 are expected to be connected in the next six months. Eby is also taking action to add 128 spaces to the UBC medical school, build a new medical school in Surrey to train the next generation of doctors, and break down barriers to bring internationally trained healthcare workers off the sidelines and into our hospitals and clinics.”
David Eby and the BC NDP team will take new actions that will allow family doctors to focus more time on their patients:
Allowing pharmacists to test and prescribe for more common conditions. We will expand when pharmacists can prescribe medications, refer and offer testing for routine conditions–like strep throat, and referrals to support the new pharmacist prescrib-
ing scope of practice, like UTI testing or renal function. This means routine illnesses can be tested for and treated, which frees up primary care providers’ time for more patients.
Reducing time-consuming paperwork for doctors. We will work with experts in the healthcare system to identify and eliminate tedious and outdated processes that take too much time at the doctor’s office. This includes eliminating doctors' notes for occasional sick days, improving the referral system to get people into see a specialist faster, and working on a common approach to finally end the use of the fax machine for renewing medication.
Getting qualified medical professionals off the sidelines. We will provide immediate provisional licences for doctors, nurses, and midwives trained in Canada. The professionals trained in comparable regions globally will get those same provisional licences within six weeks. We will also improve processing times overall and provide more transparency on licensing timelines, which will help us with international recruitment efforts.
Recruiting and empowering more physician assistants. We will work to add more physician assistants and expand the range of services they provide. PAs help doctors move quicker, see more patients, and focus on more complex issues by performing patient exams, ordering laboratory and diagnostic tests, and prescribing some medications.

New student spaces coming quicker to B.C. communities
Ten communities will soon have more student spaces as part of the government’s actions to expand schools quicker.
Through a $133.5-million investment, the Ministry of Education and Child Care is adding 89 new classrooms, which is the equivalent of 2,185 new seats, to 10 school districts. Communities receiving the new additions include West Kelowna, Langley, Surrey, Delta, Richmond, Burnaby, Maple Ridge, Fort St. John, Nanaimo and Terrace.
The use of prefabricated construction means students will soon be learning in modern classrooms that look just like regular schools. With sustainable and energy-efficient designs, the additions also align with the Province’s CleanBC targets and meets B.C.’s enhanced energy requirements. The new classrooms are expected to be ready as early as next school year.
Schools receiving new additions:
classroom prefabricated addition, adding 225 new student seats to the school.
Alpha Secondary in the Burnaby School District will get a 12-classroom prefabricated addition, adding 300 new student seats to the school.

BC Hydro receives strong response to call for clean electricity to power economy
BC Hydro has received a strong response to its call for new renewable power-generation projects while it continues to build out and strengthen B.C.’s electricity grid, creating jobs and supporting clean growth in communities such as Vancouver.
“We need more clean energy to power our homes, businesses and industries, to power growing communities and to power our future,” said Josie Osborne, Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation.
“Building an economy powered by clean, reliable and affordable electricity is one of the job-creation opportunities of our generation. Through regular calls for power and BC Hydro’s 10-year capital plan, we are creating over 10,000 construction jobs and driving sustainable growth across the province.”
In April 2024, BC Hydro launched a call for power to acquire approximately 3,000 gigawatt hours per year (GWh/y) of clean electricity. This is BC Hydro’s first competitive call for power in more than 15 years and will add 5% to its current supply.
In response, BC Hydro received proposals for three times more energy than it was targeting. There were 21 proposals from independent power producers throughout
B.C., representing more than 9,000 GWh/y, enough to power approximately 800,000 homes. Of the proposals received, approximately 70% are wind projects, 20% are solar and 10% include biomass and hydro.
The proposals are geographically diverse representing almost every region in the province. Of the 21 proposals, there are eight from the southern Interior, four from the central Interior, five from the north coast, two from the Peace Region and two from Vancouver Island.
After evaluating the proposals over the coming months, BC Hydro will award electricity purchase agreements in December and expects projects to start coming online as soon as fall 2028. The development and construction of new clean-energy projects in response to the call for power will generate an estimated $2.3 billion to $3.6 billion in private capital spending throughout the province and create approximately 800 to 1,500 jobs annually on average.
Unlike other provinces, B.C. is well positioned to add more intermittent renewables, such as wind and solar, to the electricity grid as its integrated, flexible system of hydroelectric dams act as batteries. The reservoirs
store water and allow BC Hydro to ramp production up or down almost instantly, providing a reliable backup when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. The cost of wind and solar, and the time needed to construct new facilities, has dropped significantly over the past decade.
As part of Powering Our Future: BC’s Clean Energy Strategy, the Province has committed to conducting regular, competitive calls for power every two years. This will ensure that B.C. has the clean electricity it needs as the economy and population continues to grow while keeping BC Hydro rates affordable for people and businesses.
In addition to increasing the generation of electricity in the province, BC Hydro is also investing to expand and strengthen its transmission and distribution system through its capital plan. Upgrading BC Hydro’s electricity grid will ensure that clean power can be delivered to new homes, businesses and industries when and where they need it.
In January 2024, the Province announced BC Hydro’s updated 10-Year capital plan, which contains $36 billion in regional and community infrastructure investments across B.C., a 50% increase in investments
over its previous capital plan. These new construction projects are forecast to support 10,500 to 12,500 jobs annually, on average, as well as increase and maintain BC Hydro’s capital investments as major projects, such as Site C, are completed.
“In growing municipalities like Vancouver, where we are seeing substantial population growth and increasing residential, commercial and industrial customers clean electricity needs, we are embarking on significant upgrades to our electricity system, including adding new substations and expanding existing substations, transmission lines and distribution network to ensure we can continue to provide reliable and clean electricity to our customers,” said Chris O’Riley, president and CEO, BC Hydro. “We are also making important changes to our customer connections process to speed up timelines for newly constructed homes and buildings.”
Vancouver is the most populated municipality in B.C. Population and housing growth along with increasing residential, commercial and industrial electrification is driving up energy needs. To meet this surge in demand, approximately $2 billion is being invested in several projects, including:

Hospitalist physician and osteoporosis specialist Dr. Sonia Singh is the third Fraser Health physician to receive the prestigious Michael Smith Health Research BC Professional-Investigator Award. The Award provides financial support to health professionals who are actively involved in patient care to build their research programs, train the next generation of scientists, and make significant contributions to their field. “I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity,” says Singh. “There aren’t a lot of salary support awards for research for practicing clinicians who don’t have paid academic appointments. The research l’m doing involves a lot of teamwork and collaboration and it’s very time-consuming.” Singh and her team are committed to helping people live well as they age, particularly older adults with fragility fractures - the type of fractures not associated with a specific event like skiing or other forms of exercise. “In orthopedics and emergency medicine, we do a good job of treating fractures and broken bones
and ensuring patients have rehabilitation to regain function,” says Singh. “But we don’t typically have the wraparound care to ensure people don’t come back with another fracture.” The award will allow for more patient-oriented research and the potential expansion of the Fracture Liaison Service. Preventing a second and third fracture is the goal of the Fracture Liaison Service. Patients who’ve had a fracture and are at risk of subsequent fractures receive a personalized prevention treatment plan and are followed for one year by a Fracture Liaison Service coordinator. Singh brought the Fracture Liaison Service to Fraser Health in 2015 and it is currently offered at Peace Arch Hospital and Chilliwack General Hospital. She says fractures are one of the reasons that people lose their independence and end up in long term care. “Preventing fractures improves quality of life and helps people maintain their independence while decreasing health-related costs. With this award, we hope to expand access to this important service and ultimately, I would like to see it available to patients province wide.” The award will give Singh the flexibility to devote half of her time to research. It comes with dedicated funding for her and her team to accelerate knowledge dissemination, expand capacity to mentor trainees, and forge research collaborations nationally and internationally.

Expanding the role of nurse practitioners in health care
A study in the International Journal of Orthopaedic and Trauma Nursing explores the benefits of integrating nurse practitioners (NPs) in orthopedic teams at major Canadian hospitals. Specifically, the research looked at how nurse practitioners are improving care at Burnaby Hospital.
Content: Hip and knee replacement surgery is on the rise globally due to an aging population and increasing rates of musculoskeletal disorders. While some patients get their new hips and knees and are “good to go,” so to speak, others require more care.
A new study in the International Journal of Orthopaedic and Trauma Nursing, Enhancing orthopedic care: The impact of introducing nurse practitioners, concludes that having nurse practitioners on the orthopedics team enhances patient outcomes and improves health care efficiency.

Better patient care, more nurses coming to B.C.
Patients will experience improved care and nurses will experience a stronger health-care system as the Province and BC Nurses’ Union (BCNU) have now established nurse-to-patient ratios for the majority of hospital settings.
A new recruitment strategy, along with expanded education opportunities and supports for nurses, will enable the implementation of ratios and make B.C. a leader in Canada in terms of places to practise as a nurse.
“Nurses in B.C. do an incredible job taking care of us in our time of need – whether in the community, a hospital or in a care home,” said Premier David Eby. “Setting a minimum nurse staffing standard means more time to deliver the life-saving care. This is one of the actions we’re taking to recruit and retain nurses with better pay, safer working conditions and more training opportunities.”
New nurse-to-patient ratios have been determined for more hospital settings, such as in emergency departments, neonatal intensive care units (NICU), postanaesthesia care units (PACU), maternity units, operating rooms and alternative
(continued from previous page)
“Rather than being a substitute for doctors, nurse practitioners bring their own expertise to the health system,” says Sarah Crowe, study’s co-author and Nurse Practitioner, Clinician Scientist, Fraser Health.
“Some patients have chronic conditions that can be addressed quickly by NP’s post-surgery – things like electrolyte imbalances and uncontrolled pain.”
Nurse practitioners can assess, diagnose, discharge and order diagnostics and medications for patients.
“Being able to discharge patients without waiting for surgeons frees up more beds for additional surgeries and allows patients to recover at home earlier,” says Sarah.
The study compared data from 2016 to 2018 and found that by adding nurse practitioners to the ortho team at Burnaby Hospital, monthly surgeries increased by 41.6 per cent, the average length of stay decreased for both hip and knee surgeries, and the readmission rate post-discharge also decreased. Staff surveys were positive, citing improved accessibility, bed utilization and timely treatment of medical issues.
level of care areas. Implementation of these additional ratios will begin in fall 2024. Planning is underway to establish ratios in long-term care, assisted living and other health-authority-operated com-

Burnaby Hospital and Abbotsford Hospital currently have nurse practitioners on their orthopedics teams and Surrey Memorial Hospital is recruiting.
Nurse practitioners are embedded in other care teams in our region. For example, two NPs work in thoracic surgery at Surrey Memorial Hospital, which and the Royal Columbian Hospital has a ProACT nurse practitioner who assist patients to be the healthiest they can be before surgery. Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Surrey Memorial Hospital, where Sarah Crowe is based, also have nurse practitioners in their intensive care units. Internal Medicine across the region is also starting to include Nurse Practitioners as part of their care teams.
At Eagle Ridge and Peace Arch Hospitals, nurse practitioners are the most responsible practitioner (MRP) on the Patient Access to Home (PATH) units.
“We are seeing a huge expansion in the breadth of work done by nurse practitioners,” adds Sarah. “We provide a holistic approach where we consider how a patient’s economic and social status and education might fit into their experience and impact their health. We don’t replace anyone on the care team; we augment it. It is exciting and very rewarding work.”
to address deficiencies in their workplace and improve retention,” said Adrian Dix, B.C. Minister of Health. “Earlier this year, we became the first province in Canada to
retention and professional development for nurses, with an early focus on emergency departments in Year 1. This is part of the Province’s wider commitment to refresh and expand educational programs for nurses to more easily access practice opportunities in complex care environments. A key area of focus is emergency departments, recognizing the challenges the Province is currently facing.
Expanding GoHealthBC nursing, the Province’s public travel nurses program, to reduce reliance on agency nursing and overtime, with an early focus on recruiting ER-qualified nurses to prevent emergency department closures.
The BCNU and Ministry of Health will also work together to create resources, beginning with emergency departments, to implement flexible scheduling as part of establishing collaborative and healthy workplaces.
“Today’s announcement is yet another milestone toward achieving minimum nurse-to-patient ratios in B.C. and represents an unprecedented collaboration
establish minimum nurse-to-patient ratios and have made significant progress. Now, with ratios for the majority of hospital settings agreed upon with the BCNU, we have a firm commitment to work together to deliver ratios over the next four years, fortified by new recruitment programs for workplaces that benefit both nurses and patients.”
As previously indicated, over the coming year, B.C. will have funding of $300 million to build out the nursing workforce. Additionally, the Province is taking actions in the following ways immediately:
BC Health Careers recently launched an international recruitment campaign targeting internationally educated nurses. This includes a first-of-its-kind integrated BC Health Careers Roadshow in the U.K., with similar events to come.
Nurses accepting positions in high-needs areas, starting with emergency departments will receive as much as $25,000 as a recruitment incentive.
In addition, there is $100 million, allocated from the 2023-24 minimum nurseto-patient ratio budget, which will support
between nursing leaders within the Ministry of Health, health authorities and the BC Nurses’ Union,” said Adriane Gear, president, BC Nurses’ Union. “Ratios will improve the quality of patient care and conditions of work. Determining the ratios could not have been done without the feedback provided by thousands of nurses, who are dedicated to improving the experience of both patients and their fellow nurse colleagues.”
Funding for the nurse-to-patient ratios is supported by the Province allocating funding from the Working Together bilateral agreement.
This work also builds on the 602 new nurse training seats announced in 2022, which brings the total number of nursing seats in B.C. to more than 2,700. Investing in the retention and recruitment of nurses is part of B.C.’s Health Human Resources Strategy. The strategy advances 70 actions to retain, recruit and train healthcare workers in B.C. while supporting innovative health-system redesign and optimization.

New micro-credential program helps boost B.C. rural, remote economic development
A new micro-credential program at North Island College (NIC) will help people living in rural and Indigenous communities build relevant skillsets to foster economic growth in their communities.
“Improving access to skills training helps people progress in their careers and creates more economic opportunities for their communities,” said Lisa Beare, Minister of PostSecondary Education and Future Skills. “By funding the development of this micro-credential program led by North Island College, we are helping to create more skilled workforces that will promote economic resilience and support the current and future needs of rural and Indigenous communities.”
The 12-week micro-credential program includes six individual stackable courses specifically geared toward building economic development capacity for rural and remote municipalities, local government and Indigenous communities. The courses will help train people in such things as rural community development, entrepreneurship, market research and analysis, infrastructure and resource development. The curriculum also includes a final project where students will apply their knowledge beyond the classroom and help
design an economic development plan for a municipality or a First Nations community.
“Innovation is critical to the success of B.C.’s rural and Indigenous communities,” said Lisa Domae, president and CEO, NIC. “Barriers to accessing important economic development training can leave rural communities behind. These stackable micro credentials will be available both online and in person, allowing interested learners to stay in community and build critical capacity for their home community.”The program is an NIC-led joint venture with six other participating public rural colleges. NIC will be engaging with local communities, industry experts and First Nations to build a program and curriculum plan that best aligns with the visions and needs of the people in those communities. The Province is supporting the development of the microcredential program with $278,000.
This project aligns with the Province’s continued commitment to truth and reconciliation with the Indigenous Peoples of British Columbia, as well as the StrongerBC: Future Ready Action Plan, which aims to make education and skills training more accessible, affordable and relevant to help the people of B.C. prepare for the jobs of today and tomorrow.

B.C. improving community resilience through climate adaptation
To better protect people and improve community defences against climate change, the Province is providing funding to communities across British Columbia for disaster risk resilience and climateadaptation projects.
“Climate change is no longer a future concern, it’s happening now and we’re seeing its impact all over British Columbia,” said Bowinn Ma, Minister of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness. “Through disaster mitigation funding, our government is committed to helping communities become more resilient by empowering local governments to adapt to the changing climate and better protect themselves and their residents against future climate challenges.”
Sixty-five communities will receive approximately $56 million for 78 projects from the Community Emergency Preparedness Fund (CEPF) through the Disaster Risk Reduction – Climate Adaptation stream. This funding will help communities tackle current vulnerabilities, minimize the risk of future disasters and support communities to make
informed decisions. Funding includes approximately $1.2 million through the program’s October 2023 intake to tackle drought conditions in the Sunshine Coast Regional District by supporting the shíshálh Nation’s Lower Crown Reservoir project. The reservoir will capture water from Chapman Creek to improve access to water and increase water security for people living in the region.
“We want to thank the Province for their support and funding to move the water security project for the Sunshine Coast along,” said Chief Lenora Joe, shíshálh Nation. “By working with our partners at the Sunshine Coast Regional District, we know we can make transformative change creating a better future for all residents. It is only through unifying our communities and working with partners like B.C., that we can tackle climate change and other significant challenges of our time.”
Other projects include:
- creating a green corridor by installing rain gardens, planting trees and native plants around Tillicum Elementary school in Saanich to reduce heat, help mitigate
flooding and cut carbon emissions for the entire Tillicum community;
- designing disaster-risk and policyassessment models in Gibsons to inform planning and policy around risks from climate-related issues such as flooding, erosion and salt-water intrusion to lessen future emergency costs and adapt to climate change;
- protecting essential wastewater infrastructure in the northern Village of Lumby by reinforcing riverbanks near the treatment lagoons to improve the longevity of flood mitigation and better serve the local area; and
- preventing soil erosion and protecting riverbanks in Vanderhoof by planting willow saplings along the Nechako River and Stoney Creek to reduce damage downstream, preserve nearby communities and protect the eco-sensitive area to safeguard water systems from climaterelated threats.
The Province has invested $369 million into the CEPF since it was established in 2017. Approximately $279 million has
been provided to local governments and First Nations through the CEPF for approximately 2,100 projects. This includes approximately $176 million to support disaster-mitigation and climate-adaptation projects.
The CEPF supports local governments and First Nations to better prepare for disasters and reduce risks from natural hazards in a changing climate in several categories. In addition to disaster-risk reduction and climate adaptation, other categories include:
- volunteer and composite fire department equipment and training;
- emergency operations centre equipment and training;
- public notification and evacuation-route planning;
- Indigenous cultural safety and culturalhumility training; and
- emergency support-services equipment and training.
The CEPF is administered by the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) on behalf of the Province.

Any hectic activity that has just started to You are in a good position to make some final decisions on something you may have first considered late July to mid August. The position of somebody else may be clearer now, particularly if they decide to bring something to an end. If this does happen it can make it easier in some way when it comes to normal routines in life.
Someone else can be very straightforward as to what they either like or expect from you. Be careful you don’t read into this more than is being offered, particularly if there is an expectation for you to take on responsibilities or to put things in place. Make decisions up to late September that will keep you in control of your finances.
Whatever you had to rethink when it comes to putting things in place since mid August will now allow you to be clear of mind to late September when it comes to something that might have been first discussed late July to mid August. You can now make decisions that please you. Don’t be tempted to spend too much though.
You are in an excellent position to be able to make decisions to late September that will take your life forward. You can feel as though you have greater personal choice or some control at last. There might be a second stage to this from January to April next year and for this reason it could be wise to ensure there is some flexibility.
Whatever financial decisions you may have first considered from late July to mid August can now be looked at more thoroughly, especially in relation to the best actions to take to be able to move forward. You need to be able to satisfy your own priorities, which may not necessarily fit in with the expectations of somebody else.
You are in a good position to come to realisations regarding any situations where you might feel as though you are taking on more than is reasonable on a regular basis. This is more about making decisions to bring matters to an end where commitments attached will have an inhibiting effect on possible future accomplishments.
Focus on anything you are determined to develop more for your own independence in the future. You can realise that contemplation alone will not move things forward. From now to early September you need to look at the commitments that would need to be taken on. Doing this in stages will help you to get used to the changes.
You could come to the realisation, from now to late September, that it is better to scale down ideas you might have had late July to mid August to be able to take these things into the future successfully. Others might have bigger ambitions but you can be happier with small steps, allowing you to have a feeling of better control.
Having absolute confidence about how you stand on any matter will engender respect from others, even though they may not fully agree with you. This could result in clarity when it comes to commitment and support, which may have been an issue from late July to mid August and was left hanging. Be mindful of the obligations you take on.
Something you thought had become evident since mid August where someone else’s decision making is concerned could again become more unknown to late September. It could be that they need to withdraw to make final decisions. These could involve taking your priorities into account as well as generating some sort of pleasure in life.
You are in a position to late September to contemplate future plans and possibilities that you may have wanted from late July to mid August but could not finalise. You have the opportunity to engage with others and get a response. This could also have a lot to do with leaving the past behind up to 20th November so you can move on with a new life direction.
Something that wasn’t made perfectly clear or finalised by somebody else between late July and mid August can now return to late September where final decisions need to be made by them. It can be up to you to ensure they do not avoid responsibilities that could leave you with too much to get properly organised or put into place.
Seniors' wellness: Navigating your vaccinations this fall
With colds, flu and COVID-19 circulating, here are some vaccination tips for Canadian seniors to help them breathe easier this fall season.
Getting updated vaccines
Vaccines protect you and those around you from getting seriously ill. Vaccines are regularly updated to keep up with the
evolving virus strains, making sure they remain effective against new variants.
Health Canada emphasizes the importance of getting both the updated flu and COVID-19 vaccines. A recent Government of Canada survey found that 73 per cent of Canadian seniors received the flu vaccine last season, while 67 per cent received the COVID-19 vaccine. To make it more convenient, you can receive both vaccines at the same time.
“We’re seeing a higher number of seniors receiving their flu and COVID-19 vaccines compared to other groups, but there is still a portion of this community that
4 eco-friendly tips for games night
Cooler weather means bringing the party indoors. No matter the size of your guest list or entertaining space, here are some budget-friendly tips that are also good for the planet.
Inspire creativity with DIY activities
Instead of buying new games, inspire eco-friendly fun by creating your own sustainability-themed activities. From homemade charades and DIY escape rooms to setting up recycled crafts stations, guests will have a fun-filled evening while helping the environment.
Ditch disposable containers
Limit landfill waste by having guests bring their own takeaway containers for leftovers. It’s a simple way to be more sustainable and reduce after-party clean-up.
Prioritize products and plan ahead
When planning the games night menu (because what’s a games night without snacks?), consider reducing your environmental footprint by shopping for local, seasonal produce and supporting companies that champion sustainability and support the environment, like Maple Leaf Foods.
Coordinate a carpool
Reduce your environmental footprint by coordinating a carpool for guests. Carpooling is a great way to limit carbon emissions, ensure everyone arrives on time and bring friends together for an evening of fun.
remains vulnerable when they don’t need to be,” says infectious diseases physician Dr. Zain Chagla. “There is no need to prioritize one vaccine over the other; both the flu and COVID-19 vaccines are effective and safe.”
Dr. Chagla adds, “There is extensive research and real-world data that has shown that receiving a series of updated COVID-19 vaccines over time is both safe and effective. Seniors should ensure they are up-to-date with both vaccines, particularly during cold and flu season, to maintain optimal protection.”
Distinguishing the risk of COVID-19 vs. flu
Older adults are at a much higher risk of severe symptoms and complications from COVID-19. The latest guidance from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) strongly recommends COVID-19 vaccination for all adults 65 years of age of older, residents of long-term care homes, individuals with underlying medical conditions, individuals belonging to First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities, and members of racialized and other equity-deserving communities.
Stay safe in fall 2024 by keeping up-todate on your vaccines. To learn if you are due for a follow-up dose, speak with a qualified health-care professional or visit your local pharmacy.
While both the flu and COVID-19 are respiratory illnesses caused by viruses, they differ in how severe the infection can be, how they spread (transmission) and the risks of complications. A key difference is that severe illness is more common with a COVID-19 infection than with the flu.
