Tobogganing is a blast — but it comes with risks. ❄️ Stay safe while you enjoy the snow with these four injury prevention tips for the hill!

✔️Wear a helmet! A ski or hockey or snowboard helmet is ideal, but even a bicycle helmet could prevent some degree of injury.

✔️Avoid hills with trees, fences, poles or other obstacles and stay clear of hills that have city streets or bodies of water (frozen or otherwise) at the end.

✔️Always toboggan feet first!

✔️Younger children should always be supervised by a responsible adult.

Curious about our new community-based medical centre? We get it – it’s exciting and maybe a little uncertain too. One question we’ve heard loud and clear is whether it is safe to treat patients outside the main hospital. The answer is … Yes! We have taken the same care and caution with the development of the centre as we would our main hospital campus.
