To Love & Serve
We are living in great change, where our planet is evolving at a heightened pace and needs our help. Each of our souls have chosen to be here at this time. We can choose how we put our love into action. December 21st the darkest day of the year, a wonderful opportunity to plant seeds for what we desire. A time to reflect on our own lives and make the necessary changes to support humanity and our planet in loving ways. When we open our hearts in love, share our skills, talents and kindness, we give to others, and we serve. When we stay calm and loving with our children and parents, we actively build community full of love and gratitude.
Discover Your Inner Warrior
Kambo is a traditional medicine and healing ritual that can assist in relieving the symptoms of depression, anxiety, chronic pain, trauma, ADHD, addictions, fatigue, autoimmune disorders, and much more. The effects of kambo medicine take hold and the person receiving it goes through a process of deep healing on three levels – the body, mind, and spirit. Chris Jordan is an advanced practitioner who trained in Mexico and the Amazon jungle in Peru. As a practitioner, he honours the traditional ways of the Matsés tribe, which discovered kambo medicine thousands of years ago in South America.
Product Review: Colflex® by Innotech™
ColFlex® Super Oregano Oil Spray is a great-tasting 4-in-1 oral spray containing essential oils of oregano, thyme, and spearmint oil in an extra virgin olive oil base, sweetened with stevia and fortified with vitamin D3. Spray orally to help relieve coughs, sore throat, travelling challenges, that “under the weather feeling” and for general oral hygiene and fresher breath. Lab tests show that ColFlex inhibited the growth of bacteria such as S. aureus and S. pneumonia after 27 minutes and inhibited the growth of E. coli and S. typhi after 9 minutes. Ask for Colflex® at your local Health Food Store.

Finding the Right Matchmaker
Curious about seeking out matchmaking services, but don’t know where to start or what to look for? While many people may advertise themselves as matchmakers, it takes a special skillset to truly excel. Some important questions to ask prior to investing in a matchmaking service include: 1) How long has the company been in business? More than 5 years is ideal. 2) Are they upfront with their fees and do they have a legal contract? 3) Do they have any references? 4) Do they have a professional website and social media presence? 5) What is their process?
Giving to a Senior
This year, give your senior relatives a gift they’ll really appreciate. Instead of another fluffy blanket or picture frame, consider one of our programs for the seniors in your life. You can purchase some housekeeping, snow shoveling, yardwork for next summer or even some lawn cutting. A useful gift that they will truly appreciate!
Urban Camp Program
There are still spots available on our Urban Camp Program for this winter. Urban camp looks after your fall raking of leaves, all snow shovels during the winter and a spring raking of leaves, ALL FOR A ONE TIME FEE. This Program is great for seniors that are on a fixed income as it is only a one-time fee and looks after your snow all winter long. If you would like to sign up or looking for more information on this program contact our office today.
About Us:
Saskatoon Services for Seniors was started in 1988 with goal of helping seniors to stay independent and in their homes as long as they want. We started with offering our Housekeeping service and later developed yard work crews to help seniors with maintaining the outside of their properties. Over the years we have added many services to assist seniors including snow shoveling, handyman services and Grocery Delivery just to name a few. Today we offer many services to help seniors in Saskatoon remain safely in their homes and independent.
