Staying Active All Year Long
Staying active during the colder months can be difficult with our harsh Manitoba winters; but it shouldn’t have to be. Whether you’re heading outside, or staying in, there are many ways to stay active. Outdoors, you will need to cover any exposed skin to reduce the risk of frostbite and be sure to wear proper footwear to reduce to risk of slipping on icy surfaces. Proper footwear should have that extra tread just as a winter tire would, or supplemental attachments on the bottoms of your shoes will help dig into those slippery surfaces. If you’re staying inside, YouTube is an excellent free source of multiple types of exercises.

Emergency Lock Box
Have you ever asked yourself, how could I be rescued if my door was locked? Time is of the essence during a fire or medical emergency. Install a Lock Box – a small weather-resistant metal box that securely holds a set of keys. Should an emergency occur while you are unable to open the door or get out of the residence, Brandon Fire & Emergency Services (BFES) can access your property without having to break in. Contact Brandon Seniors for Seniors Co-op Inc. for more information.
