The guide to Respiratory season and fall immunizations is brought to you by Fraser Health.
Respiratory illnesses tend to increase as we spend more time indoors. Common colds, the flu and COVID-19 spread through tiny droplets as people who are sick breathe, talk, cough or sneeze. When other people breathe in or touch these droplets and then their eyes, mouth or nose before washing their hands they may become sick.
The sound of music is louder than ever at Chief Dan George Middle School, where the band program recently received an incredible boost. MusiCounts selected the school's music department to receive a $12,000 grant, enabling them to purchase new instruments and repair older ones, ensuring every student can fully participate in the joy of making music.

As summer winds down, it’s time to gear up for a healthy back-to-school season. Set the stage for a smooth transition back to school. Here are some practical tips to get you started.
Prioritize sleep
Ensuring your child gets enough sleep is an important part of a healthy back-to-school routine. Quality sleep helps with concentration, mood and overall well-being. In the weeks leading up to the start of school, gradually adjust your child’s sleep schedule so they can adapt to the new routine. Aim for nine to 11 hours of quality sleep per night.
