November is #RadonActionMonth! Make testing your home a priority. Radon levels change daily, so a digital detector may not tell the full story. Health Canada recommends testing for at least 91 days to get an accurate picture of your average radon level. wdgpublichealth.ca/Radon

Cannabis edibles can look like candy. Even a small amount can be harmful. Keep edibles in child-resistant packaging, out of sight and reach. If a child ingests cannabis, call Ontario Poison Centre: 1-800-268-9017. Call 911 for trouble breathing or unconsciousness.

This October, ask your kids what they enjoy most about their school journey! 🌍👟🚲🦽 #IWALKIWHEEL
