Big thanks to our friends at RBC

Last Thursday, four incredible RBC staff members joined us through the RBC Communities Together Program, volunteering their time to support lung health in our community.

Together, they helped us:
- Pack 100 radon detection kits for an upcoming community giveaway
- Prepare additional radon kits for purchase
- Assemble Links Fore Lungs packages

Thank you for rolling up your sleeves and making a real impact for LungNSPEI and the communities we serve. We couldn’t do this work without partners like you!

Millions of hockey fans across Canada are cheering today as Team Canada skated to a big win over Czechia!

From the roar of the crowd to the edge-of-your-seat moments, hockey reminds us just how powerful our lungs are - every cheer, chant, and celebration starts with a deep breath.

Strong lungs fuel the athletes on the ice and the fans in the stands. Today’s win is a great reminder of why protecting lung health matters - so everyone can keep cheering, playing, and breathing easy for years to come.

Go Canada!

Your vote can help protect young lungs!

LungNSPEI is seeking $5,000 through the MacGillivray Injury and Insurance Law Journeys Grant to deliver Youth Va**ng Awareness Days.

Kids are being lured into ni****ne addiction before they’re taught how va**ng harms their health. This project brings university students into classrooms for honest, peer-to-peer conversations about va**ng, choices, and long-term impact.

Vote today to help prevent addiction before it starts:
