Living with a disability comes with unique challenges. Your taxes shouldn’t be one of them.

Canada’s Disability Tax Credit (DTC) can help reduce the amount of income tax you owe each year, making life more affordable. You may qualify if you have significant and ongoing challenges with walking, seeing, speaking, daily activities or if you require life-sustaining therapy.

📝 To apply, you’ll fill out part of a form and a medical professional — like your doctor or primary care provider — will complete the rest. Some providers may charge a fee for this service.

If you need more support, PCN social workers can walk you through the patient portion and answer your questions along the way.

Did you know approximately one in four (27%) of Canadians aged 15 and older (eight million people), reported having one or more disabilities in 2022?

Invisible or visible, every person deserves understanding, respect, and support.

If you live with a disability, your family doctor and PCN team, including social workers, psychologists and other health professionals, can help you access the care and resources you need.

We’re proud to offer programs and services that support:

• Accessible appointments and facilities
• Inclusive communication and resources
• Collaboration with community partners to address barriers

Today, and every day, choose kindness. You never know what someone else may be carrying.

About 1 in 4 cancer deaths in Canada is caused by lung cancer, making it the country’s leading cause of cancer death.*

This Lung Cancer Awareness Month, know the signs that should never be ignored:
➡️ Chest pain that lingers
➡️ A cough that doesn’t go away
➡️ Coughing up blood
➡️ Frequent bouts of pneumonia or bronchitis
➡️ Unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite
➡️ Feeling tired all the time

👉 In Alberta, eligible adults can use the ‘Screen for Life’ self-assessment tool to see if they qualify for lung cancer screening. Prevention also plays a major role, reducing your risks can significantly lower your chance of developing lung cancer. For more information about screening and prevention, visit the ‘Lung’ category at screeningforlife.ca

Most importantly, if something feels “off”, don’t wait — talk to your primary care provider.
