Conference Report
Kwe
In January 27th, 28th and 29th myself, Bonnie Chief Abraham, Mary Renaud and Jennifer Bourdon attended a conference (Reclaiming our Knowledge). It was an awesome experience. I attended several workshops, which are listed below. We learned a great deal which will help us
provide better service to our community.
The intent of the conference was to give the workshop facilitators the opportunity to share
their gifts knowledge with the participants who in turn will take home information and
knowledge that would benefit them and their communities.

March is Nutrition Month
A lot of people struggle with making healthy food choices outside of the home. That’s why Nutrition
Month 2015 is dedicated to helping Canadians learn how to eat well all day long – whether at work, at
school or at play.
With the right recipes, tips and a little planning, anyone can prepare nutritious meals and snacks for
anytime and anywhere. Make it and take it, wherever the day takes you. Nutrition Month is presented
by Dietitians of Canada, as well as thousands of dietitians across the country. Visit their website at
www.nutritionmonth.ca for recipes, snacks and breakfasts on the go and much more. This website is
brought to you by the team of Registered Dietitians at Dairy Farmers of Canada.
In February Denise and I were fortunate enough to attend a training in Quebec City on
Nutrition for Young Children ages 0-5 years. Working for the families and young children of
my community as well as being a mother of 2 young children, here are a few things I’ve learned
that may be helpful to other parents as well; of course a child’s recommended daily intake of
vegetables, dairy, meat and grains are not the same as an adult.
According to the Canadian Food Guide a young child (age 2-3) needs 4 vegetable/fruit servings, 3 grain, 2 milk and 1 meat/day. Age 4-8 needs; 5 vegetable/fruit servings, 4 grain, 2 milk
and 1 meat/day. Refer to the Canadian food guide for serving sizes. It takes a child roughly
20 exposures to a new food (prepared the same way) before they start to like it and exposures can be simply just seeing the food or touching it before they will taste it. There are 6
stages; 1-see, 2-smell, 3-touch, 4-taste, 5-eat and 6-like. Rejection of new food begins
around the age 2 (it’s normal). It’s important that we help children recognize when they are
full. Some ways to do that are to; eat slowly, avoid distractions (TV, games), avoid pressure to
eat. Please feel free to drop in to the Brighter Futures Office at the Health Centre if you
ever have questions on Nutrition and Children.
Thank you. ~ Janice Wabie

How to Prevent falls at home
• Have regular vision and hearing tests.
•Take prescription and over-the-counter medications correctly. Tell your
doctor if your medication makes you dizzy or light-headed.
•Install proper lighting throughout your home. Use night-lights in the
hallways, particularly between the bedroom and bathroom.
•Keep your floor and stairs free of clutter. Avoid the use of scatter rugs.
•Be sure to have at least one handrail (preferably two) on all stairways and steps in your
home.
•Check that stairs are slip resistant.
• For outdoor steps, arrange to have snow and ice removed on a regular basis. Use salt or
sand during the winter months.
•Wear proper footwear. Shoes, boots and slippers should provide good
support and have good soles. Avoid loose slippers.
•Install grab bars in all bathrooms, by the toilet and in the bathtub or
shower. If you need extra support, consider a bench so you can have a
shower sitting down.
•Use a rubber mat in your tub, and a non-skid bath mat beside the tub.
•Use walking aids and other safety devices for extra safety.

Pick and Pack These Teeth-Friendly Snacks
Kids love to snack on sweets and treats, but parents don't love what these do to
their teeth. If you’d like your children to start liking snacks that don’t lead to plaque,
follow these easy tips and tricks to get your kids to crave healthier snacks.
One of the easiest ways to change your kids’ snacking habits is to make healthy
foods fun to eat. With some creativity, you can give your kids treats that will get
them on a healthier snack track and keep them happy. You can turn yogurt into
nut-topped sundaes, top veggies with cheese, blend fruit into smoothies or insert
sticks into fruits and cheese. If you serve your kids these foods in surprising ways,
healthy snacks will be a fun experience and help them maintain proper dental care.
Talk to your kids about the benefits of healthy foods and encourage them to add their favorites to your
grocery list. If you take them to the grocery store and teach them how to read nutritional labels, they’ll soon
be able to make their own healthy choices.
Since kids learn from their parents’ example, make sure you eat healthier foods, too. Then follow these
healthy snacks with the proper dental care.
Here are our top-20 teeth-healthy foods:
1. Carrots
2. Celery
3. Cucumbers
4. Broccoli
5. Pears
6. Melons
7. Berries
8. Oranges
9. Pineapple
10. Low-fat or Non-fat Yogurt
11. Low-fat or Non-fat Cheese
12. Unsalted Pretzels
13. Unsweetened Cereal
14. Whole-Grain Bread
15. Plain Bagels
16. Unsalted Nuts
17. Unsalted Sunflower Seeds
18. Unsalted Pumpkin Seeds
19. Peanut Butter
20. Baked Chicken or Turkey
As long as sweet snacks are just occasional treats, kids can still eat them
without harming their teeth. If most
snacks are healthy and their dental care
is good, then kids can enjoy all kinds of
foods and still keep their teeth healthy.

Household chemical safety
You probably use many household chemical products in and around your home and garage.
These
products may include cleaning liquids and powders, polishes, drain cleaners,
paint thinners, and windshield washer fluids. These types of products can be
dangerous and cause burns, fires, poisonings and explosions.
Did you know?
Laundry detergent packs are attractive to children and can be dangerous if
ingested. Keep them locked out of sight and reach of children.
Household chemical products are among the top products responsible for injuries
and deaths in children under the age of five years. Bad taste and odors often do
not keep children away from household
chemical products. Even a small amount
of a chemical product can be harmful to a child.
Use, store, and dispose of household chemicals carefully. Learn the meaning of the hazard symbols and follow all directions on the label.
Important!
If someone has been in contact with a household chemical product and you think they may have been
harmed:
Call a Poison Control Centre or your health care provider right away. You can find phone numbers for
the Poison Control Centre nearest you at the front of your local telephone book or by searching Poison
Control Centre + (your province or territory) on the Internet. Quebec: 1.800.463.5060
 Tell the person who answers the phone what the product label says. There should also be first aid
instructions on the back or side of the product surrounded by a border.
 Bring the product with you when you go for help.
