@ONOptometrists Eye exams are important for all ages

[Ontario Association Of Optometrists @ONOptometrists]

Eye doctors see what you can’t. Optometrists do more than check your vision & assess your eye health. They can also detect signs of serious health conditions like brain tumours, diabetes, and heart disease. Make eye exams part of your healthcare routine. https://t.co/WQFqvZl3lD

Trans Canada Trail has launched a nation-wide survey about trail accessibility, in partnership with AccessNow. This survey is for those either living with a disability, or those who work or are close to someone with a disability.

Today Premier Tim Houston presented Dr. Strang with the Dr. Robert Strang Mayflower Award for Healthcare Professionals. They were joined by former Premiers Iain Rankin and Stephen McNeil.

[Louise Gillis @CCBpres]

@nsgov Congratulations Dr. Strang. This is a well deserved award. The photo of you with the three Premiers who worked in harmony throughout the pandemic is a wonderful sign of how we Nova Scotians can work together to get through the tough times. Congratulations.

@CCBNational Great interview Kim. CELA and NNELS are very important for persons with print disabilities therefore cutting funding would be devastating.
