Healthy turnout at Muskoday’s annual health fair
From diabetes and chronic conditions, to mental wellbeing and healthy eating, residents of the Muskoday First Nation are filtering through the band hall to learn about their health.
Health centre staff are hosting their annual fair in Muskoday today, Nov. 23. Thirty different booths have been set up to provide information on a living a healthy lifestyle, a bump from last year’s 20.
Ruby Bighetty, the community health nurse in charge of the health fair, has run the event for the last two years.
“We have a whole bunch of different vendors from a whole bunch of different backgrounds,” Bighetty said. “From SGI for car seat safety to an environmental health officer for mold in the home and how to prevent mold to the fire department talking about fire safety.”
