A new study by U of T Public Health, commissioned by the OHA, finds that millions more Ontarians will be living with chronic illness in the next 20 years. The findings have sobering implications for our health care system, which will face significant pressure. A thread (1/4):

To further align our Community Paramedics' skills and knowledge with our local communities, we are so thankful that CERAH is coming to the Kenora District to teach us more about Palliative Care. The course is open to all Paramedics in the Northwest. cerah.lakeheadu.ca/event/leap-par…

Since the US election, now have half a dozen bots/bogus account followers every day now and truth social ads showing up in everyone's convo. What the heck happened to Twitter???

So Twitter becomes popular, a guy wants to control it, buys it outright, renames it X, opens the doors to some whacko stuff... Then creator of Twitter created another system called Bluesky bsky.app exactly like the original to compete ... haha... this is great.

Truly love seeing seeing these SaskPolytech CP-Advanced trained staff thrive and what they bring to our Kenora District communities in their new roles. Huge shout out to StJosephsCareGroup and TeleVU Innovation for the refresher today with our augmented reality glasses. #Innovation

The American/Canadian consumer just got notified that the rich will get richer and everyone else will pay more as he declares another trade war with his allies. Oil, gas, wood, aluminum, wheat, etc., all costs are going up. Who didn't see this coming...

As a northerner, not fair the snow we dream of is avoiding us and heading south. 4" here, that's it :( New tires on the 4x, snowmachine ready, plow on the quad, lake barely frozen and... nada??? Can everyone please quit bragging about the snow we have been dreaming of?

Looking forward to our services, OHTs and others increasing their social media presence in the new/old Twitter service called Bluesky. Takes ya back about a year or so without the constant spammers, conspiracy theorists and misinformation on this drastically changed platform.
