Canada Safety Council recommends the following tips for staying comfortable and preventing hypothermia
when working or playing outdoors:
Wear a warm hat—most body heat is lost through the head. Children should keep an extra hat at school.
Wear layered clothing. Layers allow warm air to stay trapped around the body.
Protect your feet and hands. Wear loose waterproof boots. If the boots have liners, carry an extra pair to
replace damp ones or take an extra pair of socks. Mittens are warmer than gloves. Carry an extra pair of mit-
tens to school, on outings, etc.
Prevent dehydration and exhaustion, which can lead to hypothermia. Drink plenty of fluids and pace
yourself when doing vigorous activities.
Stay fit by exercising and eating well—people who are fit are less susceptible to hypothermia.
If you stay indoors, avoid moving from a hot environment to a cold one. Excessive sweating caused
from an extreme change in temperature increases the risk of developing hypothermia.
Eat high-energy food such as nuts and raisins.
If you are travelling (on the road or in the wilderness) carry emergency supplies.
Conference helps parents make a difference in numeracy and beyond
The Peel District School Board is hosting its annual parent conference on Saturday, April 18, 2015, at Fletcher’s Meadow Secondary School in Brampton. This year, the conference will focus on numeracy—25 out of 60 work-shops help with math. Parents will still have the opportunity to attend workshops on other topics, including liter-acy, special education and science. This free learning event is open to Peel parents of students at all grade levels.
Registration opens February 2, 2015
Stay up-to-date! For more information, look out for the conference flyer at your child's school in February or visit www.peelschools.org/parents/conference.
