It was a pleasure to join @LungSask and @cancersociety to share recommendations on how Saskatchewan can use tobacco settlement funds—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to invest in prevention and reduce the harms of smoking and vaping.
Thank you, @jeremycockrill!

[Carolyn Cyr @cyriouscarolyn]

It’s Heart Failure Awareness Week, and we are so grateful to the @SKGov for formally recognizing this week in SK. At @HeartandStroke, we are committed to strengthening care and outcomes for those impacted by HF, including the 24,000 people living with a HF diagnosis here in SK.

A heartfelt thank you to @SKGov for raising awareness for heart failure, by declaring #HeartFailureWeekCan an official provincial proclamation!

A heartfelt thank you to the @SaskParty for participating in our cardiac arrest presentation.
These MLAs were transformed from bystanders to lifesavers by learning how to do hands-only CPR and we look forward to working together to bring this education to schools across Saskatchewan.

[Carolyn Cyr @cyriouscarolyn]

Thank you to @Vicki_Mowat_NDP and @joanpratchler for the invitation to meet with @Sask_NDP yesterday. We had a lot of fun learning hands-only CPR together and discussing opportunities to improve cardiac arrest survival rates and outcomes in SK. ❤️

[Heart & Stroke @HeartandStroke]

A heartfelt thanks to @Sask_NDP for joining us yesterday and learning how to save a life using hands-only CPR.

ICYMI: The Government of Saskatchewan introduced legislation on Tuesday that will remove the exemption on PST for vapour products.

Starting on June 1, the standard six per cent PST will be charged to all vapour products sold in the province.

[Carolyn Cyr @cyriouscarolyn]

We were so pleased to hear about this announcement! Increasing taxation on commercial tobacco and vapour products has been one of our recommendations to government to reduce the impact of smoking and vaping in SK. This is a win-win for public health and public revenue. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Heart & Stroke @HeartandStroke]

Congratulations to @SKGov and to Minister Jim Reiter for adding 6% PST to vaping products in Budget 2025. The move will help curb youth vaping and generate additional revenue that can help fund ongoing prevention efforts for youth vaping and smoking in SK.

[Heart & Stroke @HeartandStroke]

Success! With Alberta and Saskatchewan signing on this week, all 13 provinces and territories have officially joined the National School Food Program. Thank you for your leadership @ABDanielleSmith @PremierScottMoe & @JennaSuds.

Friday was our first ever SK Stroke Recovery Day. We were so thrilled with the turnout and the opportunity to connect with so many people who are passionate about strengthening care for those recovering from stroke in our province. @HeartandStroke

[Carolyn Cyr @cyriouscarolyn]

Another great Stroke Month event! Joined the stroke physiatry team at Saskatoon City Hospital to raise awareness about stroke and to recognize the hard work of the rehabilitation team in supporting their patients’ stroke recovery journey. @HeartandStroke

[Heart & Stroke @HeartandStroke]

Heartfelt thanks @USaskMedDean for hosting the first SK Research to Life event!
