July 2026 Health and Safety Bulletin

July 2026!

July has arrived which means Canada Day celebrations,  peak mosquito season (which may be more biting than usual thanks to a soggy June), plus, the dog days of summer are upon us. That means hot, humid days (and nights) in the forecast. Be sure to take care of yourselves this month (and all year long) and stay cool.
