𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 Winter in Canada is breathtaking — but it can also be dangerous if you’re not prepared. Understanding how our bodies lose heat in extreme cold can help prevent serious cold-related injuries. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐄𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐲 Radiation: Heat leaves the body when surrounding air is colder than our internal temperature. Conduction: Direct contact with cold surfaces or water rapidly increases heat loss. Convection: Air movement carries heat away from the body — layered clothing traps warmth. Evaporation: Sweating and even breathing remove heat through moisture loss. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐦 ✔️ Layer up: moisture-wicking base, insulating middle, waterproof outer layer ✔️ Protect extremities: gloves, insulated boots, warm hat ✔️ Stay dry: change wet clothing immediately ✔️ Keep moving — but avoid sweating too much 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 Wind doesn’t change the air temperature, but it steals body heat by blowing away the warm air near the skin. High-speed winter activities like skiing, running, cycling, and tobogganing increase exposure. Always check the wind chill index and cover exposed skin. 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐞 & 𝐇𝐲𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐚 — 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘦: • Numbness, tingling, pale or waxy skin • Skin feels hard or frozen • Blisters in severe cases ✔️ Move to a warm area, gently rewarm with warm water (not hot), and seek medical care. 𝘏𝘺𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘢: • Shivering, confusion, slurred speech, fatigue • Weak pulse, slow breathing, loss of coordination ✔️ Hypothermia is a medical emergency. Get to warmth immediately, remove wet clothing, apply warm compresses, and seek help. Let’s look out for one another this winter. Stay warm, stay alert, and stay safe.

𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲 | 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 At the 11th hour today, we pause to honour the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for Canada. Their courage, duty, and selflessness secured the freedoms we value today. Many answered the call to serve at a young age; leaving behind loved ones, facing unimaginable challenges, and, for some, never returning home. Those who did carry with them the memories of sacrifice, loss, and resilience. We honour them by remembering their stories and continuing to share them from generation to generation. Their legacy lives on in the peace we experience today. To all who have served and continue to serve, thank you. ℒ𝑒𝓈𝓉 𝓌𝑒 𝒻𝑜𝓇𝑔𝑒𝓉. #SurepointGroup #LestWeForget #RemembranceDay #WeWillRememberThem #NeverForget #Veterans #Canada
