OctoberNational Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Sponsor: National Breast Cancer Awareness Month Collaborating Organizations 

Breast cancer is the second most common kind of cancer in women. About 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point.

The good news is that many women can survive breast cancer if it’s found and treated early. A mammogram – the screening test for breast cancer – can help find breast cancer early when it’s easier to treat.

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a chance to raise awareness about the importance of early detection of breast cancer. Make a difference! Spread the word about mammograms and encourage communities, organizations, families, and individuals to get involved.

How can National Breast Cancer Awareness Month make a difference?

We can use this opportunity to spread the word about steps women can take to detect breast cancer early.

Here are just a few ideas:

• Ask doctors and nurses to speak to women about the importance of getting screened for breast cancer.
• Encourage women ages 40 to 49 to talk with their doctors about when to start getting mammograms.
• Organize an event to talk with women ages 50 to 74 in your community about getting mammograms every 2 years.

How can I help spread the word?

We’ve made it easier for you to raise awareness about breast cancer. This toolkit is full of ideas to help you take action today. For example:

• Add information about breast cancer screening to your newsletter.
• Tweet about National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
• Add this Web badge to your website.https://healthfinder.gov/NHO/octoberToolkit.aspx

Patient Research Summit

Tal Golesworthy is a boiler engineer from the UK. He's an expert in solving plumbing problems. He was born with a heart defect called Marfan's syndrome that was slowly weakening his aorta -- the body's main artery. If left untreated, his aorta would eventually burst and kill him. 

Faced with a gruelling surgery and a life on drugs, Tal decided he would fix this plumbing problem himself. As part of a multidisciplinary team that included engineers and medical specialists, Tal developed an innovative device that reinforced his aorta without intrusive surgery or a forced medication regime. Tal went on to start a company that makes the device for people with the same heart condition. 

Tal will share his story at a patient research summit at the Marriot Hotelhosted by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in Ottawa fromOctober 25 to 27. The summit brings together more than 200 patients, researchers and health professionals from across the country to discuss how to make health care better for patients as part of Canada's Strategy for Patient Oriented Research.

Mont SUTTON, one of Quebec’s major ski resorts located in the Eastern Townships, is already gearing up for the 2016-2017 ski season.

Master plan and snowmaking are in the pipeline

This season is the resort’s first under the ownership of Jean-Michel Ryan, Pierre Chesnay and Sylvain Gervais and visitors can expect many exciting changes in a near future. This year will be one of transition, allowing for an in-depth analysis of potential diversification opportunities, of a real-estate development plan and of the resort’s future endeavours. For this winter, the new owners are investing half a million dollars in the improvement of the existing snowmaking infrastructure.

A year of transition that bodes well for the future

This new season about to begin will mainly be one for reflection. A quarter of a million dollars will be invested in the creation of a master plan intended to turn the resort into a major four-season tourist destination, while staying true to the resort’s authentic DNA. « We want to mobilize the active forces in Sutton in order to turn this destination into a high-quality living environment, and one of the most sought-after destinations in Quebec,» explains Jean-Michel Ryan, president and general manager. «We want to ensure the resort’s future continuity, while respecting the community, the customers, the employees and the surrounding nature.» This master plan will allow us to verify both the potential and the best opportunities that could come from a comprehensive diversification, to determine and prioritize each of the development phases to come, as well as identify the key actors in their achievement. Lodging, mountain biking and even more... everything is up for discussion at Mont SUTTON!
The new owners’ position is clear: Mont SUTTON will continue to grow according to a vision of sustainable development and in respect of the well-established DNA of a mountain that wishes to retain its distinctive natural attributes.  In an agreement with the new owners, Nature Conservancy Canada has in fact purchased a piece of land, effectively increasing the size of the Réserve Naturelle des Montagnes-Vertes. This land, known as Dos d’Orignal, is the natural habitat of many protected species. Several 15-foot mature trees will be planted in the Sous-Bois II sector to reforest the area and conserve Mont SUTTON’s DNA. These actions illustrate the new owners’ desire to maintain the balance between development and conservancy, and to confirm Mont SUTTON’s status as an exceptional destination in harmony with nature.

Important investments in snowmaking

Just this year, the new buyers have invested half a million dollars to develop a better snowmaking system. In total, 50 new energy-efficient snow guns will contribute to the improvement in production and in the quality of the snow being made. Improvements will also be made to the overall snowmaking system: updates to the computers in the machinery room, new piping, new valves, new communication wiring. These investments are in line with a will to pump serious funds into the improvement of the snowmaking system in order to increase capacity, flexibility and speed in order to offer an even higher quality product!

Other news

Many new things are also in store at the Boutique Experience SUTTON. New noteworthy brands are now available: Völkl, Atomic, Briko, Alpina, Scarpa, Dale of Norway, Maloja and Reusch. The ski goggle and racing departments have also been completely revamped to offer the best brands and even better service. Furthermore, the Bar Le Tucker will now host an Open Mic après-ski on Thursdays, along with the well-loved live music Fridays.
While we wait for the first snowflakes, Mont SUTTON’s Fall Festival is still on with lots of activities for one last weekend on October 15 & 16; the Boutique Experience SUTTON sales staff is on hand to advise customers according to their needs and the Ski School is taking registrations. The events calendar and the season’s special offers are online and pictures for season’s passes can be taken. In short, from clients to employees, the excitement for the upcoming ski season can already be felt at Mont SUTTON!

NuVal® Recognizes Eggland's Best Eggs with Highest Nutrition Score in Egg Category

Judged on Nutritional Value – Eggland's Best is Significantly Superior to Ordinary Eggs

- The NuVal® Nutritional Scoring System, a comprehensive food scoring system that measures
the nutritional quality of foods, has identified Eggland's Best eggs as the highest scoring egg
on grocery store shelves. 

Every year national food brands are tested on the NuVal® Nutritional Scoring System,
which looks into more than 30 nutrients and nutrition factors such as Vitamin D,
Vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, saturated fat, calories and protein. The system
was created to provide an easy-to-use guide to maintaining a healthy diet in
an environment where obesity is a growing concern.
Grocery shoppers across the country look to the NuVal® Nutritional Scoring
 System as a guide for making quick, smart decisions when selecting nutritionally
 superior food brands for themselves and their families. Developed by a panel
of nutrition and medical experts, NuVal® uses fact panels, package labels and
 nutrition reports to score foods on a scale of 1 – 100. The higher the NuVal®
 score, the more nutrient-rich the food item is.
"After testing 48 different brands of eggs, Eggland's Best eggs came out on top
 in terms of nutritional value," said Anne Bernier, Sr. Operations Director for
 NuVal LLC.  "Eggland's Best's dedication to providing Americans with a
 nutritionally superior egg was proven during an evaluation of more than
30 different nutrients and nutrition factors, which resulted in an impressive
 NuVal score of 85." 
Compared to regular eggs, Eggland's Best eggs contain 25 percent less
 saturated fat, five times more vitamin D, more than double the omega-3s,
ten times more vitamin E and three times more vitamin B12.  Eggland's Best's
 superior nutritional profile is due to its proprietary all-vegetarian hen feed
 that contains healthy grains, canola oil and a wholesome supplement of
rice bran, alfalfa, sea kelp and Vitamin E.  In addition, a recent independent
study showed that Eggland's Best eggs stay fresher longer than ordinary eggs.
"Receiving the highest NuVal score, combined with our continued growth,
 reinforces the fact that we are achieving our goal of providing consumers the
 best tasting, freshest, and most nutritious egg possible," said Charlie Lanktree,
President and CEO of Eggland's Best. "Eggland's Best's significantly higher
 score than ordinary eggs helps consumers make healthier decisions for their families."
Eggland's Best eggs are available in classic large, extra-large, jumbo, organic
 and cage-free, as well as hard-cooked peeled egg and liquid egg whites varieties.

Misinformation fuels opposition to health-care reform in Canada

The reality is that for-profit provision of health-care services is commonplace among industrialized countries with universal health care By Bacchus Barua and Jason Clemens The Fraser Institute VANCOUVER, B.C. / Troy Media/ - For almost two decades, fear of a U.S.-style system has fuelled opposition to genuine reform of Canadian health care. Many of those same opposition voices are now protesting the constitutional challenge to Canada's health regulations by the former head of the Canadian Medical Association, Dr. Brian Day. In reality, our health-care system is expensive, delivers poor-to-modest results, and fails to achieve many of its laudable aspirations. The solution to fixing and maintaining our universal health-care system is to recognize the successful approaches used in other universal-health care countries, such as the use of for-profit companies to deliver health-care services. The Dr. Day case, which will likely end up in the Supreme Court of Canada, focuses on two aspects of British Columbia's health regulations: (1) prohibition against doctors working in both the public and private health-care systems, and (2) the disallowance of purchasing private insurance for core medical services. Legal arguments aside, the context of the case is worth noting. Canada is one of the highest spenders, on both a per person basis and as a share of the economy, on health care among industrialized countries that provide universal health coverage. Yet Canadians endure some of the longest wait times for medically necessary procedures. For example, in 2015 Canadians waited 18.3 weeks between referral by a GP and actual treatment. Canadian patients also suffer from comparatively poor access to doctors and medical technologies such as MRIs. But if the voices of opposition at the Dr. Day trial are to be believed, there's an incompatibility between medical care delivered by private, for-profit companies and universal health care. The reality, however, doesn't match this rhetoric. A recent study looked at for-profit insurers and hospitals in six industrialized countries (Australia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland) that all maintain universal health care. For-profit hospitals are found in all six countries. In Germany, France and Switzerland, for instance, universally accessible hospital care is delivered by both non-profit and for-profit hospitals. In Australia and Sweden, governments contract with for-profit hospitals for universally accessible services. For-profit health insurers are also found in all six countries. Notably, for-profit companies compete to offer the primary health-care insurance in the Netherlands, offer a private substitute for public health-care insurance in Germany, and offer a private option alongside the public system for patients in Australia and Sweden. Remember, all six of these countries maintain universal health care. But Canadians need not look beyond our own borders to see the benefits of private, for-profit provision of health services. Saskatchewan's Surgical Initiative (SSI) was introduced in 2010 with the express goal of reducing what were the country's longest wait times for medical treatment. Under the SSI, select day surgeries were contracted out to private, for-profit clinics. A recent study by the former NDP finance minister of Saskatchewan, Prof. Janice MacKinnon, provided evidence that on average, private clinics delivered procedures at 26 per cent lower costs than public-sector equivalents. For example, in 2012, Regina Surgical Centres Inc. provided cataract surgeries at $618 per procedure compared to $1,273 in public hospitals in the Regina Qu'Appelle regional health authority. The results in Saskatchewan have been stunning. The province has gone from having some of the longest wait times, on average, for medical treatment to having the shortest. The government's own wait time data indicates a decline of 75 per cent in the number of patients waiting three months or longer for surgery. The reality is that for-profit provision of health-care services is commonplace among industrialized countries with universal health care. Canada is actually the oddity in limiting - and in some cases, actually prohibiting - such activities. Hopefully the Dr. Day case, if nothing else, will bring these important reform lessons to light for Canadians.
