Consider this your reminder to practice sun safety even in the colder months! Apply SPF before heading outdoors, bundle up, wear UV-blocking sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat or helmet when heading out to partake in all that winter has to offer. Let's enjoy the season safely!

Today is World Mental Health Day. At Save Your Skin Foundation, we recognize that caring for your mental health is just as important as caring for your physical health. A skin cancer diagnosis can bring fear, anxiety, and uncertainty, and it’s okay to ask for help. You are not alone. 💛

Opinion: Provinces must align on health care, not just trade
Where you live in Canada should not determine whether or not you receive essential treatments.
