What You Don’t Hear
People with moderate hearing loss will hear relatively well if you talk to them face-to-face in a quiet environment. They will not hear well if you walk away from them, in a different room, or if there is noise. People with hearing loss may be unaware of the extent of it: that’s where loved ones come in. Family members who have grown frustrated with their inability to hear are the ones to prompt them to get a hearing test. Encourage them to have their hearing tested; you will be doing them and yourself a big favour in the long run.

Is Your Retirement Plan Complete?
Are pre-arranged funeral arrangements missing from your retirement plan? Here are three reasons to make pre-arranged plans that fit your personality and values, no matter how your lifestyle changes in the years to come: 1. Life insurance does not cover the cost of funerals. Planning helps pay for the full cost before your death. 2. Funeral planning is part of your legacy for your children. With planning, you have peace of mind knowing that your children are protected from certain monetary pressures. 3. Inflation affects lifestyle and funeral plans. We are here to help. Call us to book a consult with one of our pre planning professionals.
Optimize Your Golf Game!
Have you taken that first swing of the day and felt like things just aren’t moving right? Whether you are late for your tee time, focused on your first big drive, or catching up with your friends, it is easy to forget the importance of a good warm up. Your warmup can be the difference between a great day on the course, or a frustrating day with fifteen bogies and a strained rotator cuff. Even before trying your warmup swings, you should start with a routine of stretching and mobility exercises. This includes warming up your shoulders, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, hip mobility…and gets the blood pumping!
Composting: Enhancing the Environment
A healthy environment is crucial for our overall well-being and vitality, as it directly impacts our daily lives. One effective method to enhance our environment is through composting, which offers numerous environmental benefits. By composting, we can significantly reduce waste production. For instance, in the City of Prince Albert, a staggering 40% of landfill-bound waste comprises organic material that could instead be transformed into compost, thereby averting the generation of methane gas and harmful leachates within the landfill. Embracing composting practices not only minimizes waste but also contributes to a healthier planet and a more sustainable future.
Time for a Pedicure!
Keeping your feet in tip-top shape is important, not just so they look good, but also to keep them healthy. Pedicures are a luxurious, relaxing experience, but they provide many other benefits too: 1) Helping retain the moisture in your skin to prevent cracking, blisters, and other problems. 2) Reducing the risk of infection and ingrown nails by cleaning and cutting nails. 3) Removing dead skin cells by exfoliating to help prevent bunions or corns. 4) Promoting blood circulation and relieving tension in the calves and feet through massage. If you’re having a spa day, don’t forget about your feet!
Coping with Loss
When your loved ones reach a certain age, deaths and funerals become common place. Dealing with these losses can take a toll. Funerals play an important part in honouring and remembering the life of someone who was important to you. The living can come together, support each other and share their grief. If your loved one has recently attended a funeral, talking about what they liked or did not like about it, may lead to not only discovering what their wishes are for their funeral, but can help them cope with the loss they have just experienced.
