VISION |
|
We look forward to a time when our
communities are filled with First Nations' people who are glowing
with health, when families and communities support each other and
are models of positive health status, when all able bodied people
are employed, when there are sufficient quality homes for all and
when the environment in each community is clean and safe for all
people.

PURPOSE |
|
The purpose of the Sioux Lookout First
Nations Health Authority is to support achieving this vision by
contributing in its unique ways to a strong health system for
the Anishinabe. This health system has many parts: First Nations
with their primary responsibility for their people's health, the
secondary responsibilities of the Tribal Councils, the on-going
Treaty responsibilities of the Government of Canada, the support
of the Nishinabe Aski Nation, and other health organizations.
The Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority wishes to
contribute to achieving the vision of health and individual,
family and community well-being by working in partnership with
all jurisdictions in the Anishinabe Health System to provide
excellence in population health promotion and system

HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS
-
Children
shouldn't snack while they're
out trick-or-treating. They should wait
until they get home and parents have
had a chance to inspect the goodies.
To help prevent children from munching, give them a snack
or light meal before they go--don't send them out on an
empty stomach.
-
Tell children
not to accept--and, especially, not to eat--anything that
isn't commercially wrapped.
-
When children
bring their treats home, discard any home-made candy or
baked goods. Parents of young
children should also remove any
choking hazards such as gum,
peanuts, hard candies or small toys.
-
Inspect
commercially wrapped treats
for signs of tampering, such as an unusual appearance or
discoloration,
tiny pinholes, or tears in wrappers.
Throw away anything that looks suspicious.
- If juice or cider is served
to children at Halloween parties, make sure it is
pasteurized or otherwise treated to destroy harmful
bacteria. Juice or cider that has not been treated will
say so on the label.
