Today we reflect on the service of the many who fight for and to protect peace, to protect the vulnerable and those who paid with visible and/or invisible wounds or paid the ultimate price. We thank them and remember them, always. #LestWeForget#CanadaRemembers
Heads Up Halifax. Now that daylight savings time has ended, there are fewer daylight hours, meaning reduced visibility this time of year. Whether you're walking, cycling or driving, look out for one another while sharing the road. https://t.co/LQVO6KwiH9

Itโs National Pain Awareness Week. Did you know that #ChronicPain is common in many conditions, ranging from cancer to arthritis, as well as many invisible or undiagnosed illnesses that arenโt widely understood? #NPAW2020#LivingWithPain
A recent @JPhysiother study found that people who have experienced low back pain are open to using exercise to reduce their risk of recurrence; however, they prefer programs that differ from those exercise programs that are known to be effective.
