âš  Food Recalls Update âš 

CK Public Health is changing how we share food recall information. We will no longer be posting recalls on our social media channels.

To ensure you get the most accurate and up‑to‑date alerts directly from the source, we recommend following (The Canadian Food Inspection Agency) and subscribing to their recall, advisory, and safety notifications.

You can also customize the alerts you receive and how often you receive them.

Dear parents…you’re doing enough.

This time of year can make us all feel like we should be doing more - more traditions, more tasks, more “perfect” moments. But our CK Public Health nurses want you to hear this loud and clear:

❤️ You’re doing great.
❤️ You’re love is enough.
❤️ You don’t need to do it all.

You’ve got this and we’re here cheering you on!
