July Activity Message 2024
Summer is here and with that comes the hot weather. A reminder for all residents with these following tips to reduce the risk of heat related illnesses.
Drink plenty of cool liquids, especially before you feel thirsty to decrease your risk of dehydration
Reduce sun exposure between 11am to 4pm when the sun's rays are strongest
Stay cool in air-conditioned areas, like the cafe
Keep windows and drapes closed during peak times of the day, or when the sun is beating in the window.
Report to the nurse if feeling unwell
I would like to introduce three new volunteers at Conestoga Lodge. Annette, who will be bringing in her dog Riley to visit every Tuesday evening. Sarah, who is a student, will be coming in for the month of July, and will be helping the Activity Department. Cindy who will be coming in once a month in the evening to do a Games Evening with the residents. Cindy has a special evening planned in July outside with the theme being "Canadian Games".
Conestoga Lodge has been recognized again this year as part of the 2024 Kitchener in Bloom Program! We are proud to display the sign in the front garden. Thank you to all who contributed to the gardens this spring during our Family and Friends Garden Day. Thanks goes to the volunteers who water the gardens regularly.
