The Government of Canada has been reminding us that second doses of COVID-19 immunizations are important. Receiving a second vaccine dose for a 2 dose schedule is essential to provide better and longer-term protection against COVID-19 for individuals and for the entire community.
A different vaccine product may be offered for a second dose, which is known as vaccine interchangeability or a ‘mixed vaccine schedule’.
You can find more information about second doses of COVID-19 vaccines here.
Hey everyone! We posted back in April a link to a video that shows how to properly and safely use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Here it is again as a refresher!
The Government of Canada has been reminding us to remember that, after getting our vaccines, it takes about 2 weeks to develop significant protection against COVID-19. For the greatest protection, you need 2 doses.
You can find more information about getting a vaccine appointment here.

Hey everyone, with fire season fully upon us we wanted to highlight two short animated videos being released by Nelson Fire & Rescue Services.
Did you know there are a number of things you can do to reduce the risk of losing homes and buildings from wildfire? Through a grant from Columbia Basin Trust, local illustrator Nathan Wilkinson and vocal artist Maddisun worked with Nelson Fire & Rescue Services to create these two short animated films to help spread the message of FireSmart and wildfire safety.
Check out how to “Be FireSmart-Today” in the videos below or on YouTube!

The Government of Canada has been reminding us all that, as more people are vaccinated, restrictions may be starting to lift in our communities this summer. However, we must continue to follow local public health advice and be mindful of individual measures like physical distancing (i.e. staying 6 feet apart) and wearing a mask in public spaces. This summer, especially, we are all reminded to continue to avoid crowds.
If you are heading outside this summer, you can find ways to safely enjoy outdoor activities such as:
