يتأثر بعض الأشخاص بالحرارة أكثر من غيرهم. يجب على كبار السن والرضع والأطفال الصغار ، والذين يعانون من حالات صحية مزمنة ، والذين يتناولون أدوية معينة توخي مزيد من الحذر. يصف هذا علامات المرض وطرق الوقاية من الأمراض المرتبطة بالحرارة. @Fraserhealth https://patienteduc.fraserhealth.ca/permalink/669227

Have you experienced wildfires, earthquakes or floods?

@redcrosscanada wants to hear about your experience. This month, the Canadian Red Cross and Partners for Action are conducting nine virtual focus groups across Canada as part of a research study. Emergency preparedness is not a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why we want our emergency preparedness messages to reach a wider, more diverse population of Canadians.

Interested in learning more?

Visit: https://uwaterloo.ca/inclusive-resilience/

All participants will receive a $50 grocery card and a free, two-person emergency kit for donating two hours to the study.

This study has been reviewed and received ethics clearance through a University of Waterloo Research Ethics Board.

Posted @withregram • @bcadvsmart Getting by with a little help from a friend!

An enthusiast can be NEW to an activity but still be aware.

A novice enthusiast can be aware of;
✔️ their lack of skills & abilities
✔️ gear required (because they researched it)
✔️ responsibility to learn new skills
✔️ seeking out reliable information
✔️ knowing their limits
✔️ the importance of listening to, watching, asking questions and getting help from the more experienced in the group to learn from
✔️ not being overly confident but willing to learn and apply what’s key to success

DYK someone who is NEW to the outdoors?
Tag them here to HELP THEM learn more!

Mentor 👉🏽 @tabsrathbone aka past @bcadvsmart outdoor educator 👍🏽
